Rignano Flaminio: Ancient Traces, Rocca Savelli and Vallelunga

Rignano Flaminio between History and Nature

Rignano Flaminio can be discovered through visible traces of history and landscape. On the main square of Rignano Flaminio stands the 15th-century Rocca Savelli. At the entrance to the town centre, large and clearly visible basalt paving stones from the ancient Via Flaminia have been preserved. In ancient times, these typical blocks of lava stone were used to pave roads. If you are interested in historic townscapes and ancient routes, this starting point provides a clear focus.

The Catacombs of Santa Teodora lead into another period of history. The first burials there date from the time of the persecutions under Diocletian, in 303 AD, while the last date from 424 AD. The San Silvestro monastery is also located in the immediate vicinity of Rignano Flaminio. Those who do not want to limit historical themes to individual buildings can therefore also include a nearby site in their travel plans.

Vallelunga for Nature and Activity

For days surrounded by greenery, the Tenuta Comunale Area Naturalistica Vallelunga offers a distinctive option. The nature area is characterised by abundant greenery and has paths as well as equipped routes for sporting activities and picnics. The Tenuta Comunale Area Naturalistica Vallelunga includes a pond for sport fishing. The area also has mountain-bike trails. Vallelunga therefore appeals to different interests without requiring you to focus on a single activity.
