Castle difficult to find. You have to take a narrow path for several kilometers. It is a fortified castle with a dungeon with a dwelling next to it. Attention, this place cannot be visited, even if it is indicated in the guides. It is private property and at the end of the road, there is no place to park and as the property is closed by a gate, it is very difficult to turn around. A dirt track extending the road overlooks the property and provides a view of the castle.

Super well received by the owners who only receive groups. For our Vitalité Stretch Bien-être association, July 13 was our last stretch session and it was a success. 1 hour lesson and an improvised picnic at the foot of the castle. This evening will remain in our memories. Thanks again to the owners

Attention can not be visited because it is a private property. Nevertheless, the charming owner let us have a look around. Very beautiful property, very well maintained castle and superb garden. Absolutely calm and very relaxing. Nice discovery.

Santa Maria in Trastevere

The Basilica of Santa Maria in Trastevere is one of the oldest churches of Rome. The basic floor plan and wall structure of the church date back to the 340s, and much of the structure to 1140-43. The first sanctuary was built in 221 and 227 by Pope Callixtus I and later completed by Pope Julius I. 

The inscription on the episcopal throne states that this is the first church in Rome dedicated to Mary, mother of Jesus, although some claim that privilege belongs to the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore. A Christian house-church was founded here about 220 by Pope Saint Callixtus I (217-222) on the site of the Taberna meritoria, a refuge for retired soldiers. The area was made available for Christian use by Emperor Alexander Severus when he settled a dispute between the Christians and tavern-keepers.

The church underwent two restorations in the fifth and eighth centuries and in 1140-43 it was re-erected on its old foundations under Pope Innocent II.
