The Town

Discover Rieti

Rieti, known as the "Navel of Italy" for its central location, is a city with a deep historical and spiritual load. For pilgrims, it is a fundamental stop on the Cammino di San Benedetto and the Via di Francesco. The historic center is surrounded by a medieval wall and houses an imposing cathedral and the Papal Palace. The city is closely linked to St. Francis, who visited the valley numerous times. Rieti offers a full range of services, a lively atmosphere, and a beautiful natural environment, crossed by the River Velino. It is an ideal stage for a cultural break, exploring Franciscan heritage, and enjoying life in a provincial capital.
