Subjects : Piazzale Umberto I opens immediately after Porta Romana and is the obligatory point of passage to access the ancient village. A meeting point between the new and the ancient Vitorchiano, the square is rich in monuments such as the bell tower of the Trinity Church or Sant'Amanzio, the former church of San Giovanni Battista (dating back to the 16th century) and currently used as a meeting place for different cultural initiatives and the Public Fountain, built between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Among the other monuments of Vitorchiano we can recommend a visit to the Church of Sant'Amanzio and that of Santa Maria Assunta. Of some interest are also the Casa del Podestà and the Town Hall and, just outside the town, the Monastery of Santa Maria delle Grazie.Near Vitorchiano, moreover, there is the wonderful Sacred Forest or Monster Park of Bomarzo which – at least on long days of late spring and summer – can therefore be safely combined, in a single itinerary , to the visit to the characteristic Moai reachable from Vitorchiano, along Via Teverina for a short stretch. The Moai is a gigantic statue, worked in pepper, six meters high, perfect reproduction of the famous monoliths with human appearance that are located on Easter Island. About 22 km from the village we invite you to discover the nature reserve of Lake Vico, and the majestic Beech Tree of Monte Cimino (17 km), for some years included among the Natural Heritage Of Humanity by UNESCO. Finally, you are invited to discover the Castle of Colle Casale and the Tower of Chia. Included among the Historic Houses of Lazio, it was the residence of the famous director Pier Paolo Pasolini.
