Visit Fiano Romano

Fiano rules over the Tiber Valley. Once, Fiano had its own port and a ferry used by Onorino II-the AntiPapa- when he walked towards Rome, Pasquale II prisoner of Enrico V, Lotario II and Pio II in 1464. The castle that towers over the ancient urban centre was built through various ages. In the middle of the castle there's a stately round tower that's tall 30m with hamming laces; inside it, there are many rooms that have the same original look. You enter in the old part of town passing through the Capena door: originally, the door was equipped with wooden wings and its hinges are still visible.

Castello ducale Orsini: the castle was modified many times during the Middle Age. The first change was brought in 1439, when Niccolò Orsini extended the dimensions of the castle adding the wing that appears Porta Capena, after having inherited it from Orso and Elisabetta Orsini, He added it also a sophisticated renaissance style. Castello ducale Orsini has been property - beginning from 1690- of Ottoboni, Fiano's dukes. To know something more about Fiano, visit the official site of Fiano Romano municipality .

Chiesa di Santo Stefano Nuovo: its building started beginning from the second half of the XV century, and it was reshaped in 1774. The church has three naves overcome by semicircular arches placed on travertine pillars.

At the centre there is a painting realized by Antonio del Massaro, called the Pastura. In this picture is represented Our lady out of the saints: Giovanni Battista, Stefano, Biagio and Pietro.

Chiesa di Santa Maria ad Pontem: at the south-west extremity of the town, once, came up the ancient fourteenth-century monastery of S. Maria ad Pontem.
