Sacred Way - Monte Cavo
Highlight • Trail
This mountain was so important because on its top stood the temple of Jupiter of Latium. Every year, at the temple, the Feriae Latinae were held, great celebrations in honor of this divinity, particularly important in Lazio. The road that went up the mountain to reach this sacred place therefore took the name of Via Sacra. And this same road was also traveled by the victorious generals who celebrated their triumph: for this reason it was also known as the triumphal road.
The temple of Giove Laziale, however, was replaced in the Middle Ages by a hermitage dedicated to St. Peter. This later became a monastery and in more modern times even a hotel, where various important people seem to have stayed.
Today Monte Cavo is an important radio and television transmission center. And in fact on its top there are essentially only antennas, repeaters and various pylons.
