Tips from the Community
La Rocca Pia is an imposing 15th-century fortress located in the very historic center of Tivoli, in Lazio. Built starting in July 1461 by order of Pope Pius II Piccolomini (from whom it takes its name), the fortress was created with the dual objective of militarily controlling the strategic access routes to the city and reaffirming papal authority over the citizenry after long periods of unrest and internal clashes, particularly between the Guelphs and Ghibellines factions and the powerful Colonna and Orsini families. The project, completed under the pontificate of Pope Alexander VI, is traditionally attributed by the only historical source (Vasari) to Filarete and his disciples.

Quiet place with little traffic and in the open countryside. Connects the Salaria to the Nomentana

The Riserva della Marcigliana is a magical place just outside the Grande Raccordo Anulare. A cool place where you can breathe some fresh air.

Tivoli's Rocca Pia, an imposing Renaissance fortress located in the city center, was built by Pope Pius II Piccolomini starting in 1461 to defend the city and control the population. The structure is characterized by four large circular towers of varying heights, connected by high crenellated walls. Over the course of its history, the Rocca has alternated defensive functions with those of a papal barracks and, for a long time, a prison until 1960. It is currently a tourist attraction located near Piazza Garibaldi and the Bleso amphitheater. WEBSITE: https://visittivoli.it/sito-turistico/rocca-pia/
