Acquapendente

Few towns in northern Lazio have a history as closely tied to the Via Francigena as Acquapendente. Set on volcanic uplands close to Tuscany and Umbria, it lies near Lake Bolsena and the wooded Monte Rufeno Nature Reserve. For centuries, pilgrims travelling between northern Europe and Rome passed through this borderland settlement; the Basilica del Santo Sepolcro remains its principal religious monument and preserves a long connection with pilgrimage. The historic centre is compact, with stone lanes and small squares shaped by its position on an old north–south route.
