10. Between classical culture and Christianity: Rome Caput Mundi

Ponte Sant'Angelo and Castel Sant'Angelo

Your tour in Lazio must necessarily start from the city of Rome, the capital of the region and the capital of Italy. And not only. Actually, the glorious Eternal City can also be considered the world capital of Art and Culture. Here, in fact, the most celebrated monuments of ancient Rome, such as the Colosseum, are accompanied by witnesses of the millenary Christian civilization, such as St. Peter's Basilica. So are you ready? It starts out great!

9. Civita di Bagnoregio: the dying town

Picturesque view of Civita di Bagnoregio

One of the most suggestive places in Lazio is certainly the picturesque Civita di Bagnoregio, now almost completely depopulated in the province of Viterbo. The small village, perched on a tuff hill, can only be reached thanks to a small pedestrian bridge "suspended in space", a feature that makes your visit even more exciting. Arm yourself, therefore, and have a good adventure!

8. The Circeo National Park: between Nature and Prehistory

Circeo National Park

Just one hundred kilometres from the capital, it is possible to admire the Circeo National Park (Latina), whose institution dates back to 1934. The park extends over the territory between the cities of Terracina and Anzio. It is dominated by the Circeo promontory, which with its about 540 m is an authentic lighthouse in the Tyrrhenian Sea. Prehistoric caves, which retain numerous remains and the characteristic Coastal Dune, are just some of the wonders that await you ...

7. The Baths of Bagnaccio: a healthy bath

Another unmissable stop for lovers of natural beauty in Lazio is represented by the Baths of Bagnaccio, a location already dear to the ancient Etruscan civilization. The characteristic "white clay" pools, where you can refresh yourself with the beneficial and boiling thermal waters, are a living testimony to the volcanic origin of much of northern Lazio. So are you ready for a nice regenerating bath?

6. Civitella d'Agliano: a piece of history ...

1. The Sacro Speco of Subiaco: in the footsteps of San Benedetto

Shrine of the Sacro Speco

The last stop on your trip to Lazio is the Monastery of San Benedetto di Subiaco, also called "Sacro Speco". The sacred place was built starting from the 11th century in honour of the hermitage of San Benedetto, who for three years lived in these places in a cave that we can still visited today. The prestigious monastery, perched on Mount Taleo, offers its visitors, in addition to the suggestive "Benedictine residence", also two superimposed churches, rich in works of art, among which the Cosmatesque mosaic floor stands out.
