Tragliata: Fortified Borgo, History and Trails

A fortified borgo with a long history

Tragliata combines a fortified borgo, rural surroundings and traces of different eras. The landscape protection measure for the Aree collinari dell’Agro Romano settentrionale also includes the fortified Borgo di Tragliata. A historic paved road connected the ancient site of Tragliata with the important settlement of Castel Campanile. The origins of Borgo di Tragliata date back to the Etruscan and Roman periods.

Historic buildings in Tragliata

The Castello di Tragliata was built between the 9th and 10th centuries for defensive and observation purposes. Over time, it was converted into a country house used for residential purposes and agricultural production. In the area around Tragliata, the Torre del Pascolaro is located on a privately owned agricultural property and can be viewed from a distance. Historically, the Torre del Pascolaro could communicate with Castel Campanile and the Castello di Tragliata to warn of dangerous situations.

On foot among ancient remains and regional cuisine

Those who explore Tragliata on foot will find ancient Roman and Etruscan remains along the numerous trails around the borgo. A visit combines a walk through the village with enjoying regional specialties at the borgo’s agriturismo. Since 1999, Borgo di Tragliata has been an organic farm certified by AIAB/ICEA. The first walk of the Cammino delle città perdute is approximately 6 km long, takes about 3 hours and leads from the square below the Castello di Torrimpietra to Borgo di Tragliata.

Bus, cycling route and individual travel planning

Cyclists can also include Tragliata in a longer route. The Cycling Mirabilia Lazio cycling tour runs from Fiumicino to castles and villages inland, including Tragliata. Tragliata can be reached by public buses operated by the city of Fiumicino; this service is run by Trotta Bus Services Spa. When planning a trip, walking, cycling and bus travel can be considered separately instead of being combined into a single route.

Church and cultural life in the borgo

A landmark in the village is the Chiesa di Sant'Isidoro, the parish church of Tragliata in the Diocese of Porto Santa Rufina. It can be used for private celebrations such as anniversaries and weddings. Another specific aspect is Woodstock a Tragliata.
