Beautiful cycle path along the seafront, part of the Francigena

It is the destination of the evocative Cammino di San Benedetto which leads from his hometown of Norcia to the abbey of Montecassino which houses his tomb, passing through Subiaco where the Saint lived for a long time and where the monastery of Santa Scolastica and that of the Sacro Speco are located.

spectacular but narrow road with numerous blind and exposed curves. It is always best to keep to the right and slow down a lot when going downhill because you will encounter cars along the entire 13km. Always keep your concentration high when going downhill.

Teatro Romano is an interesting open-air museum; a well-preserved complex on the mountainside with beautiful views of the town of Cassino in the valley, although it doesn't offer such a great picture!

Climb that requires training, about 9km at 5/6% average gradient, but the view you see during the climb is worth the effort. Unfortunately they do not allow bikes in and currently there are no parking spaces for bikes, but you can take some photos.

Well-preserved Roman theater, it could accommodate up to 2,500 spectators. Nowadays it is still used for cultural events and demonstrations, especially in the summer period
