This beautiful mountainous scenery includes the tallest of our mountains (Mount Terminillo, 2217 mt), many natural oases, castles, fortresses and sanctuaries. For instance the famous Sanctuary of Greccio, the place chosen by St. Francis for the first commemoration of the Nativity, is here. Other spiritual destinations are Fara in Sabina, home to the interesting Abbey of Farfa, and the Benedictine monasteries in Subiaco.

The other main reason to visit the area, apart from the spiritual vibe and the natural beauty, is the opportunity to practice open air activities in every season, from winter sports to hiking and even the adventurous experiences of canyoning and rafting at the stunning Marmore Falls.

Mount Soratte

Mount Soratte was chosen by Mussolini to build a huge war shelter for the Italian Government, but it ended up been used by the occupant Nazi army! During the "cold war" it was turned into an advanced fallout shelter. Finally in 2001 the local municipality was returned this area and it is now open to the public.
