A castle village absolutely worth seeing. Very original.

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.

On the right side of the church of Santa Maria delle Grazie begins the path that leads to the church of S. Antonio. The first news of this Hermitage dates back to 1532; the prior of all the Soratte hermits resided here. The building has been preserved but the interior cannot be accessed. Other remains are in the rear area of the church where there is also a bench to admire the view. In front of the church the path continues in the direction of Santa Lucia although halfway you can turn left to reconnect to the concrete road that takes us back to the town.

On the way to the top of Soratte, just before the San Silvestro hermitage, you can take the path on the left that leads to the small San Sebastiano hermitage, of which modest wall traces remain. The latter was home to hermits in the 16th and 17th centuries, after which it began to be abandoned and fell into ruin. In the rock there is a cavity used to collect water. Short trail but to be followed with care.

Huge boulder leaning against the rock, looking at it it seems like it is about to fall down. Legend has it that Saint Nonnosus was a monk and that rock is in that spot because he managed to move it from the top of Soratte to make room for a vegetable garden for the monks. Panoramic point

Remains of a building which legend has it belonged to bandits. Very panoramic point on the path to get to the top of Soratte

The meri are very deep karst cavities. Easy path to follow. Start from the large Sant'Oreste car park, the one below the road. There are three of them, all close together. On the same path, a little further on, there is the church in the cave of Santa Romana, a beautiful place that deserves to be visited.

This hermitage has a patronal name that is truly on everyone's lips, but only a few will know the person behind it: the feast day of Saint Sylvester (San Silvestro) is December 31st. He lived at the end of the third or beginning of the fourth century and was Bishop of Rome when Emperor Constantine - later generations gave him the nickname "the Great" - recognized Christianity as a religion with the so-called "Edict of Toleration" of Milan, thus ending - at least temporarily - the period of bloody persecution of Christians.
