Corviano Castle

Highlight • Castle

The first monument we encounter that recalls the ancient medieval village is the Castle, a fortified palace built on the edge of the cliff and preceded by a defensive moat. The northern walls have disappeared following the collapses, but the surviving circle of walls is still clearly recognizable. The south-eastern corner of the castle preserves the wall structure built on the foundations of enormous pre-existing blocks of rock very well. Even the entrance portal, on the southern side, towards the plateau, preserves some reminders of the door's closing mechanisms and a beautiful oblique slit for the defense of the access area from attackers. Other pointed arch windows and slits of beautiful appearance and in good condition are preserved in the walls.

The Monumento Naturale di Corviano is located on a peperino plateau, typical of the Tuscia landscape, which was already inhabited in the early Middle Ages. It has a great wealth of flora and fauna, concentrated in a small area (an area of ​​about 70 hectares). It is also special from an archaeological point of view. Due to its strategic features and good defensibility, the area was inhabited since the early Middle Ages. The medieval town of Corviano had a castle and a church. Along the ridge overlooking the stream, there are the rooms of numerous underground houses carved into the peperino. They consist of two or three rooms and are supplied with air through large windows cut into the rock face on the outside.

Martelluzzo Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

The Martelluzzo waterfalls are a small but picturesque waterfall. The ruins of a mill next to the waterfalls make the landscape even more beautiful. The water is less clean than other waterfalls in Tuscia, but it is still worth it because of the beautiful surroundings and the lush vegetation. The waterfalls flow into the Fosso Martelluzzo. Water is an omnipresent element on the route to the Martelluzzo waterfalls. In front of the ruined medieval fortress you have a view of the Vezza river valley. Then you reach the Fosso del Martelluzzo with its beautiful waterfall.
