SCENIC JOURNEY IN SABINA TO DISCOVER THE BEAUTY OF THIS AREA
Before returning to Rome through Via Salaria, there is the must-visit medieval village of Monteleone Sabino with the Shrine of Santa Vittoria (pic n°6). Located on an artificial hill just below Colle Foro, the church is mostly built in Romanesque style, and most of its renovations have occurred thanks to the work of the Orsini, the local feudal lords who lived in this area in the second half of the fifteenth century. The façade, which is narrower than the body of the church, is entirely covered by stone and marble, while the church gate is decorated with white marble garlands, and it is surrounded by four blind arch-shaped windows. The eaves are embellished with a series of blind rounded arches.
