The stage from Monterotondo to Fara in Sabina takes the pilgrim from the outskirts of Rome to the most authentic part of Lazio's Sabine area, characterised by rolling hills, olive groves and ancient country lanes immersed in nature. The Way alternates between small towns, crop fields and historical evidence of the area's agricultural tradition.
Along the way, you will see elements of the Sabine ethno-anthropological culture, linked to rural civilisation, the production of extra-virgin olive oil and traditional village hospitality. The landscape still preserves a strong balance between man and the environment, and this is visible in the rustic architecture and terraced cultivation.
Arriving in Fara in Sabina, you will discover one of the most significant historical centres in the Sabine area, known for its artistic and religious heritage. Of particular interest is the Farfa Abbey, a historic monastic complex nestling in the green Sabine countryside.
This stage of the Way of St Francis combines spirituality, local culture and rural landscapes, guiding the pilgrim into the historical heart of the Sabine hills.
