Calcata is a small village about 40 km from Rome. Its center stands perched on a tufa mountain and dominates the green valley of the Treja river. The village is accessed from the only door that opens onto the walls.

Beautiful village, rich in history and craftsmanship. There are several local businesses. It stands, with a splendid view, on the valley of the Treja below surrounded by greenery.

Plan your visit during dry weather for the most comfortable experience.

The Calcata Loop Trail is set within the Parco Regionale Valle del Treja, immersing you in a rich natural environment.
