From Tivoli's Gregorian Bridge, you can enjoy a spectacular view of the Aniene Gorge, the natural canyon carved by the river, and the Roman Acropolis with its ancient temples. Looking toward the "old" part, you can admire the houses clinging to the rock and the Temple of the Sibyl, which turns golden at sunset. Here's what you can see from the bridge: The Tivoli Gorge: The Aniene River flowing deep within, part of the evocative Villa Gregoriana Park. Roman Temples: The acropolis with the Temple of the Sibyl and the Temple of Vesta, symbols of ancient "Tibur." Historical Panorama: The medieval and historic houses overlooking the chasm, offering a glimpse of old Tivoli. The Great Waterfall: With the surrounding landscape of the gorge. The bridge itself, built in the 19th century by Pope Gregory XVI, is an iconic vantage point located at the entrance to the historic center.

Tivoli's Rocca Pia, an imposing Renaissance fortress located in the city center, was built by Pope Pius II Piccolomini starting in 1461 to defend the city and control the population. The structure is characterized by four large circular towers of varying heights, connected by high crenellated walls. Over the course of its history, the Rocca has alternated defensive functions with those of a papal barracks and, for a long time, a prison until 1960. It is currently a tourist attraction located near Piazza Garibaldi and the Bleso amphitheater. WEBSITE: https://visittivoli.it/sito-turistico/rocca-pia/

Lunghezza Castle - a medieval castle named after the town of Lunghezza, in the municipality of Rome. It is located between Via Collatina and Via Tiburtina. The castle is linked to the birth of the Roman Republic. The first nucleus was built on the remains of a Paleolithic settlement and a fortified structure called Collazia, following the expulsion of Tarquin the Proud by Brutus Collatinus, owner of the citadel.[1] It became a Benedictine monastery in the 8th century, and in the 11th century it was owned by the Abbey of Saint Paul Outside the Walls.[2] The building was held for the abbey by various families, including the Counts and the Orsini. The famous Manifesto, drawn up by members of the Colonna family, against Boniface VIII, was signed in the castle. Passed by marriage in the 15th century from the Orsini to the Medici of Florence, it became the property of the Strozzi family.[3] They held it until the early 20th century and it was remodeled and restored several times.

It's a beautiful and varied trail... but watch out for wild boars! And then... why doesn't Roma Natura clean up the illegal landfills? It's true that people are uncivilized, but the institutions must clean up, otherwise the degradation will worsen.
