Tips from the Community
The Basilica is stunning and the catacombs are absolutely worth visiting. We were lucky enough to have explanations from a gentleman who works there who practically acted as our private guide. A must-see

1st part of the tour: from S. Antonio di Capodimonte to Bolsena. Km 35. Mixed terrain, alternating, not signposted. GPS useful. The Komoot track does not always indicate the best way. Therefore, pay attention.

The historic center of Bolsena climbs from the lake toward the medieval fortress, through stone alleys, arches, and glimpses that suddenly open onto the water. The tuff houses and small squares tell a story that intertwines the Middle Ages and lakeside tradition. The spiritual heart of the village is the Basilica of Santa Cristina, linked to the famous Eucharistic Miracle of the 13th century.

Located in the heart of the village of Marta, on the southern shore of Lake Bolsena, the Clock Tower is one of the main historical and tourist attractions of the area. This medieval tower, which stands majestically in the historic center, is not only a symbol of the city, but also a witness to centuries of history, art and local traditions. The Clock Tower stands imposingly at 21 meters high. Its structure is characterized by a truncated pyramid base with a square plan and an octagonal body that culminates with a small octagonal tower about 2.5 meters high, where the clock bells are located. This clock, installed in 1575 during the Farnese domination, is one of the distinctive elements of the tower. Originally, the tower was part of the Rocca, a medieval fortification that has seen numerous restorations and alterations due to the turbulent historical events of the village. The tower has survived various modifications and reconstructions, and today represents one of the most fascinating testimonies of Marta's past. (c) https://www.visittuscia.eu/torre-orologio-marta/

The old town hall of Marta (VT), composed of two distinct and adjacent buildings, was demolished in 1926 and the current one was built in its place, completed in 1929 as can be read in the architrave of the central window on the first floor. The project was drawn up by the engineer Daniele Manini while the facade was designed by the architect Fasolo, reported to the mayor by Corrado Ricci, general director of Fine Arts. Above the door is set the travertine coat of arms of Pope Paul III Farnese, previously placed on the facade of the old town hall and recovered during the demolition works. During the renovation, the ancient "Porta grande della Strada della Marta" that led into the historic center was modified and was replaced by the current portico. The stone arch that surrounded it is today clearly visible in a building at no. 141 of via Laertina. In the council chamber there is a valuable large painting by Wolf Voight that depicts, synthetically, the feast of the Madonna del Monte. Under the portico of the town hall (which the Martani call Le Porte) there is, on the left, a large work in wood and plaster in bas-relief painted by Alberto Morucci, inaugurated in the early 90s, which also depicts the feast of the Madonna del Monte. To the right and left of the town hall we find Palazzo Ciotti and Palazzo Tarquini, both from the 1500s. (c) https://www.meteomarta.altervista.org/portale/il-municipio-di-marta
