One of the most prestigious centres of Medieval Europe, the Abbey of Farfa, at the peak of his power, governed 600 churches and monasteries, 132 castles or fortresses and 6 fortified cities, for a total of more than 300 villages,
it was said that the abbot did shadow to the power of the Pope! We will walk along the frame of the hills that surround and protect the slope of Mount Acuziano, where the Abbey was strategically located and then we’ll descend in the shadowy gorge of the river Farfa, an amazing natural monument, wild, steep and wooded counterpoint to the soft curves of the olive groves above it, an enchanting agricultural landscape with millenary roots!
