Sutri

Sutri rises in a position of great historical importance: in fact, the Via Francigena, which led from northern Europe to Brindisi, passed through here on its way to distant lands. Many vestiges of the past remain in its territory, including a Roman amphitheatre completely dug into the tuff, an Etruscan necropolis, the Romanesque cathedral and the very special Church of the Madonna del Parto: built in the Middle Ages on a previous pagan building dedicated to the god Mithras, it is entirely dug into the tuffaceous rock and preserves a very ancient depiction of pilgrims on their way, which still reminds us of the great spirituality that has always been experienced in these places.
