Detailed itinerary
1
The village of Sutri, perched along a tuff spur, with which it forms a whole, appears suddenly, with its towers and crenellated walls.
Here are unique and exceptional monuments, sometimes perfectly preserved, almost as if to defy time, which inexorably corrodes them all the time.
2
The suggestive Roman Amphitheater of Sutri is of great archaeological interest. A wonderful monument, dated on Roman times. Its discovery, by the local population, took place only in the first half of the nineteenth century. Precisely between 1835 and 1838. As it was for the Flavian Amphitheater in Rome, that of Sutri also showed a final crowning with various decorative structures still the village of Sutri today partially visible. Elliptical in shape and structured with three tiers of steps, it could hold over 9000 people.
3
The peculiar characteristic of the village consists of the houses built entirely with the local lava stone. A pleasant scenario, therefore, which must not be misleading. At night, in fact, the castle (made even more spectacular by a masterful artistic lighting) takes on a dark and dark aspect that brings it to mind as the perfect scenario of that whimsical and revolutionary era, yes, but also frivolous and violent that was the sixteenth century .

Stop 4
It was built in the fifteenth century by the Orsini family, in a place where in the past there were the remains of a medieval fortress. The Bracciano Castle, whose name derives from the family that owned it since 1696, preserves splendid frescoes and period furniture inside, and for this reason it is considered one of the most elegant fortified historical residences in Italy. The suggestive village of Bracciano, which extends around the manor, creates a fascinating and romantic environment at the same time.
