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

Perfect little village with both a castle and a church on the single street. Very tidy, but completely empty at the time of our visit in the shoulder season.

Rocca Sinibalda dominates the lush Turano Valley from above, the second most important river in Sabina after the Velino. The village is dominated by a castle founded around 1060. It was rebuilt as a fortress and noble residence in the 1630s by Cardinal Alessandro Cesarini who hired the famous Sienese architect Baldassarre Peruzzi for the occasion. It can only be visited on certain days. It is therefore advisable to inform yourself before departure.

The Castle of Rocca Sinibalda, located in the province of Rieti, has a rich and fascinating history. Its construction dates back to the 10th century and was built to defend the surrounding area and control the territory. Over the centuries, the castle passed between various noble families, including the Savellis, the Orsinis and the Sinibaldis, from which it takes its name.

It seems that San Cataldo has never actually passed through these places. Yet the legends about the saint are not lacking. It is said that the rock that leads from the hermitage to the valley floor is full of hollows and fissures, marks of the elbows and feet of the saint who went to the stream every day to wash himself. Legends aside, the hermitage is a wonderful example of the union between human architecture and nature. The interior of the chapel and its ancient Byzantine fresco can be visited only during FAI days.
