Historical-artistic itineraries in the territory of Amelia
The city of
Amelia is a place rich in historical testimonies, beginning from the
Megalithic
Walls, a solid document made of enormous overlapped blocks dated the VIII-VII
centuries B.C.
Still in
Amelia there’s the great complex of the
Roman Cistern, which was a sequence of
ten containers that regulated and to guaranteed a constant water restocking to
the city.
Near
Lugnano
in Teverina, an ancient village near the borders of the
Lazio, it’s
possible to admire a precious triptych, work of
Niccolò di Liberatore,
known as
the Pupil, preserved in the apse of the
Collegiata di Santa
Maria Assunta.
The beauty of
this district steys however in the general effect given by the visit of the
whole territory, a continuous alternate of hills, valleys and mountains, and
suggestive panoramas alternated from small castled suburbs each of which have
proper characteristics and charm. All of them are to visit and every deviation
reserves surprises and never banal images.
