The walls surround the entire center, of Roman origin, of which few traces remain; the medieval walls built in the 13th century are still widely visible with their towers and portals, which are considered "among the most imposing and best preserved in Lazio. Very suggestive

Lago del Salto is a small but successive artificial lake near Rieti whose circumference is about 32 km of asphalted and mostly flat road. A wonderful route to do by bike, even with the family, taking into account both the low car traffic and the good condition of the road surface perfectly passable with MTB, GRAVEL, City Bike, Racing bike etc. and the beautiful naturalistic views of the lake and the mountains. Along the route there are several rest areas where you can rest and eat a sandwich, but there is also a bar with a beautiful view near the dam. Also along the route you will encounter the town of Fiumata, diametrically opposite the dam, and the town of Borgo San Pietro, halfway between Fiumata and the dam, this is the ideal starting point thanks to the large spaces available for parking cars, but above all for the numerous restaurants with a view of the lake, open all year round and offering excellent local dishes, ideal to enjoy especially after a nice ride like this. For those who want to make the undertaking more challenging there is the variant that passes through Varco Sabino and then through the town of Rigatti, the tour is extended by a total of 10 km, testing a truly challenging climb and descent. Definitely worth trying.

I continue with the comment: so I was saying, Fiumata is diametrically opposite to the Dam, from this last refreshment point equipped with barxexristora you return to Borgo San Pietro and conclude the tour, refreshing yourself and tasting one of the many dishes of the local cuisine. A beautiful and fun tour, but also challenging if you decide to deviate towards Varco Sabino and then Rigatti before returning to the lakeside, extending the route by about 10 km. 100% recommended
