Where is
What is it and where is the village of Ceri
Situated on a tufa spur, the Borgo di Ceri is one of the most picturesque and charming villages in Lazio. Its medieval walls, alleys and narrow houses around the central square create an intimate and cozy atmosphere with an ancient flavor. But when you push your gaze beyond the walls to the spectacular views open to the surrounding countryside, you will be captivated by the beauty of the panorama and the sharp contrast between the narrow spaces of the village and the immense countryside that surrounds it.
Why it is special: a dip into the Middle Ages
Ceri is special because of its scenic location and the authentic atmosphere it retains. The village, with its stone buildings and cobblestone streets, gives an authentic experience of medieval life. The quietness of the place, nestled in the green Latium countryside, contributes to a particularly relaxing and enjoyable visit.
Not to be missed: the Church of the Immaculate Conception
A must-see is the Church of the Immaculate Conception, which houses splendid medieval frescoes. This church, simple on the outside, surprises with the beauty and artistic richness of its interior, including frescoes recounting episodes from the Bible.
A bit of history
Founded in the 13th century, the village has ancient origins related to the need for defense against enemy attacks. Thanks to its location perched on a tufa spur, Ceri has maintained its medieval appearance virtually intact.
Curiosity: a natural wall
Ceri is a fortified village built in a strategic position. However, the ancient inhabitants of this place did not have to build massive walls to defend themselves from enemies. They were helped by the imposing tufa walls, which for centuries made the village almost impregnable and today make it one of the most striking destinations in Lazio.
