The stage from Monterotondo to Fara in Sabina takes the pilgrim from the gates of Rome to the most authentic landscapes of the Lazio region of Sabina, among hills, olive groves and ancient rural paths immersed in nature. The route alternates between small towns, cultivated countryside and historical evidence of the area's agricultural tradition.
Along the way, elements of the Sabina ethno-anthropological culture emerge, linked to rural civilisation, the production of extra-virgin olive oil and the forms of hospitality typical of the local villages. The landscape still retains a strong balance between people and the environment, visible in the rural architecture and terraced fields.
Arriving in Fara in Sabina allows you to discover one of the most significant historical centres of Sabina, known for its artistic and religious heritage. Of particular interest is Farfa Abbey, a historic monastic complex surrounded by the greenery of the Sabina countryside.
This stage of the Way of St Francis combines spirituality, local culture and rural landscapes, guiding the pilgrim into the historical heart of Sabina.
