Overview

In the Natural Park of the Simbruini Mountains, in the Upper Aniene Valley, stands Trevi in Lazio, known in ancient times as Treba Augusta.
Vestiges of its glorious past can be found in the remains of the podiums of some temples, the ancient sewerage system, a wall later reused in the Middle Ages, the foundations of several rustic villas, and the Arch of Trevi that marks the border between the territories of the Aequi and the Hernici. The cardo and the decumanus can still be discerned in the town’s historical centre, within which particularly worth a visit are the Collegiate Church of Santa Maria with a crypt dedicated to Saint Peter, the Oratory of San Pietro Eremita, Piazza degli Angeli and, at the top, the Caetani Castle, probably founded in the year 1000. Worthy of note in the hamlet of Altipiani di Arcinazzo is the Church of S.M. Vergine Refugium Peccatorum.
In terms of nature, the Trevi waterfall is particularly evocative, while the area is crossed by two pilgrims' ways, the Cammino di San Benedetto and the Cammino di San Pietro Eremita. At the table, you can enjoy numerous typical cheeses, while the events most worthy of note are the Feast Day in honour of the patron saint, San Pietro Eremita, held in late August.
