Torre Alfina

Acquapendente is an important point of passage on the Via Francigena, which is why the first hospital in the area was built between the 14th and 15th centuries, outside the town walls. It is a historic village, combining medieval atmospheres with 19th-century architecture. Just outside the built-up area is the imposing castle of the hamlet of Torre Alfina: a place worth visiting to be drawn into the atmospheres full of mystery that can still be felt in its caverns. In fact, it is said that the Monaldeschi family, lords of the manor during the 14th century, were involved in obscure events that took place in the castle's dungeons, where echoes of ghosts, whispers and ancient voices still seem to hover.
