20의 몬테부오노가지 명소 & 주요 장소

The remains of the ancient Roman city, crossed by the Via Flaminia and lapped by a bend of the Tiber, are set in a natural landscape of remarkable beauty, a perfect synthesis of archeology and nature with a centuries-old history.

Nice place, definitely interesting to visit the remains of the ancient Ocriculum.

This splendid archaeological park from the Roman era can be visited all year round for free. The park extends for 36 hectares from the nearby bend of the Tiber to under the modern Otricoli. Right on the Tiber river there are still the remains of the used Oil Port active until the 16th century. The remains of what were once thermal baths, amphitheaters and villas are perfectly preserved and extraordinarily integrated into the natural context of the area.

It seems that San Cataldo has never actually passed through these places. Yet the legends about the saint are not lacking. It is said that the rock that leads from the hermitage to the valley floor is full of hollows and fissures, marks of the elbows and feet of the saint who went to the stream every day to wash himself. Legends aside, the hermitage is a wonderful example of the union between human architecture and nature. The interior of the chapel and its ancient Byzantine fresco can be visited only during FAI days.

Listed among the natural monuments of the Lazio region, the Hermitage of San Cataldo is a small sanctuary carved into the granite rock of the mountains. If the exterior appears very impressive, the interior with its large frescoes is no exception.

Ocriculum was a Roman municipality of Regio VI, one of the eleven regions in which the emperor Augustus had divided Italy in the first century. It was located along the banks of the Tiber river in the province of Terni. The city was destroyed between 569 and 605 AD, during the Lombard invasion. The archaeological area today is located near the town of Otricoli.

An authentic surprise where pre and post Roman times are still present. By bike of can do

You should definitely take the short detour to the Convento Santo Speco di San Francesco.
