Basilica of Santa Cristina

Highlight • Religious Site

The Catholic Basilica of Santa Cristina is located in Bolsena, in the province of Viterbo, in Lazio, known for being the place where the Eucharistic miracle of 1263 took place, depicted in the fresco "Mass in Bolsena" by Raphael, preserved in the Vatican Palace. It is also the burial place of the martyr and saint Cristina of Bolsena.

Monaldeschi della Cervara Fortress

Highlight • Castle

The Rocca Monaldeschi della Cervara, built in the 11th century, stands on a hill in the heart of the medieval district of Bolsena, offering a splendid panorama of the picturesque village and the lake. Walking along the narrow and romantic streets that lead up to the castle from the center is an experience that is truly worth it, giving you the opportunity to explore the medieval architecture of the village while your gaze is lost over the roofs of the city, enjoying the view of the lake . Inside the castle there is the territorial museum of Lake Bolsena, which houses finds from the Etruscan, Roman and medieval eras.

Bolsena Old Town and the Rocca Monaldeschi

Highlight • Historical Site

Dominated by the massive Rocca Monaldeschi, Bolsena is located on the northern shore of the homonymous lake of volcanic origin and not far from the same place where, in prehistoric times, a Villanovan village stood.
In Etruscan and then Roman times it became an important trading center; in the Middle Ages its importance grew thanks to the large flow of pilgrims that the Via Francigena led to Rome, but also to the veneration of the martyr S. Cristina in whose honor the Collegiate Church of S. Cristina was built. In this same church, the so-called Miracle of Bolsena (or of the bleeding host) took place in the thirteenth century, following which the feast of Corpus Domini was established for all of Christianity.
