Things to see and do in Fabrica di Roma

In the visit of the ancient village, to see the Collegiate Church of San Silvestro Papa, dating back to the year 1110, the Church of Santa Maria della Pietà, the Castle that stands right in the center of the town and the medieval Palazzo Cencelli, which now houses the Common.

In the surrounding area, Falerii Novi, an archaeological site of an ancient Roman city, and the Church of Santa Maria in Falleri are worth a visit, without forgetting the Via Amerina, a tourist itinerary of great historical-religious impact as it represented a very busy road that connected a large part of the Faliscan territory already at the dawn of the Roman Empire.

In this stretch of Upper Lazio oviniculture is a practice that has its roots in the mists of time, in the Etruscan era and so in the summer period here we celebrate with the "Sheep Festival", when the arrosticini are great protagonists, along with other specialties such as gnocchi all'amatriciana and mutton, grilled sheep, offal, sausages.
