Wow, finding a Bernini’s church on the hills with no crowd is a miracle!! This place is magical, always open, gorgeous land and amazing structures. It’s a garden, a temple, a castle, all at once. Not easy to reach without a car, but can’t be missed if you are in the area.
A hidden gem. Nice walk through a natural setting up to the abandoned hill town.
The location is a lovely place for a nice hike and a view. Plentiful parking, but the road getting there was a bit tight. There are many ancient structures to see and enjoy and plenty of open space for picnics or playing around. There were a bunch of information maps located across the area describing the history of the structures and gives you insight on how the structures looked during it’s prime. Oh and the location is dog friendly! Would absolutely love to come here again!
Ruins of an aqueduct, villa, church and other stone structures. AFAIK, built in the Middle Ages rather than Roman times but nevertheless it’s an amazing place. We did not encounter any other people for the ~1 hour we walked around the site. 800 meter gradual slope from the parking area down to the ruins.
Please trust the maps to get you here and please set time aside to explore! This place is absolutely beautiful. My husband even enjoyed it.
