Nestled in the splendid setting of Piazza Mazzini, the Montascide (or San Marco) fountain enchants with its timeless beauty and elegance. Dating back to 1623, this marvel carved in nenfro stone is a tangible testimony to the talent of the skilled stonemasons who shaped every detail with mastery and dedication. Protected by small columns that delimit its base, the fountain stands out for its quadrangular basin and the pediment decorated with a majestic niche and ornamental elements. Two pairs of pilasters with masks that spout water add a touch of charm to this work of art. In the center, a figure with rich hair gives life to the fountain, making the water flow over two overlapping shell-shaped cups, supported by elegant brackets. The upper part is enriched by a tympanum decorated with the municipal coat of arms and fruit festoons, while a female prosthesis proudly dominates everything. Fonte Tuscania, a guide to discovery.

Located in the heart of the village of Marta, on the southern shore of Lake Bolsena, the Clock Tower is one of the main historical and tourist attractions of the area. This medieval tower, which stands majestically in the historic center, is not only a symbol of the city, but also a witness to centuries of history, art and local traditions. The Clock Tower stands imposingly at 21 meters high. Its structure is characterized by a truncated pyramid base with a square plan and an octagonal body that culminates with a small octagonal tower about 2.5 meters high, where the clock bells are located. This clock, installed in 1575 during the Farnese domination, is one of the distinctive elements of the tower. Originally, the tower was part of the Rocca, a medieval fortification that has seen numerous restorations and alterations due to the turbulent historical events of the village. The tower has survived various modifications and reconstructions, and today represents one of the most fascinating testimonies of Marta's past. (c) https://www.visittuscia.eu/torre-orologio-marta/

The Rocca Farnese, located in Tuscia, is an imposing 16th-century structure built around a medieval tower, which dominates the historic center of Ischia di Castro. The palace, unfinished for centuries, was recently restored by the new owner, bringing to light ancient forms and a walled Renaissance loggia. Originally built in the 13th century as a fortress, it was transformed into a palace in the 16th century, perhaps designed by Antonio da Sangallo the Younger. It was the residence of the Farnese, lords of the Duchy of Castro, and, after the end of the duchy in 1649, it passed to the Apostolic Chamber and various families.

Beautiful panoramic view of the church of San Pietro. The garden is very well-kept and it is very pleasant to spend a short break there.
