Rocca di Papa
A small town on the northern slope of Monte Caro
Rocca di Papa is perched on the northern slopes of Monte Caro and is a popular health resort. Due to its impressive location, the upper part of the town consists almost only of stairs and narrow medieval streets in which often only two people can walk side by side. Although the village is now a listed monument, some of the houses have been renovated in advance. That disturbs the overall picture a bit, but you can enjoy the panoramic views of the surrounding Alban Hills in any case.
Worth seeing are the ruins of a fortress of the town, which once offered protection to Pope Eugene III and his successors, as well as the church of Santa Maria dell’Assunta.
