Tips from the Community
For those arriving at Calcata Vecchia and wanting to descend into the Treja Valley, I strongly advise against taking the marked path that is not on the road: it is a pedestrian descent that can only be done with a bike in hand, and not even easily. Descend following the main asphalt road.

This is one of several tunnels that characterize Mount Soratte. The others are within the bunker system. Although short, it's a good idea to carry a torch to get through it.

In the main square (Piazza Cavour), an ancient Spanish cannon known as the "Cesare Borgia Cannon" or "Bombarda del Valentino," a late medieval artillery piece from the 16th century, is on display. It is a fascinating historical relic, often linked to Cesare Borgia, but with more complex origins. It is a large bombard made of iron rods held together by iron rings, typical of 16th-century Spanish artillery. Today, it stands outdoors as a visitor attraction, positioned behind the Rocca dei Savelli (or Rocca del Valentino), and adds to the historic atmosphere of the village. Although commonly attributed to Cesare Borgia (called Valentino), who renovated the fortress after the Borgias arrived in Rignano in the 15th century, historians believe it was abandoned by the Landsknechts (German mercenaries in the service of Charles V) in 1527, upon their return from the Sack of Rome. There is no direct evidence of Borgia's ownership, but legend has enhanced its local appeal.

On the way to the top of Soratte, just before the San Silvestro hermitage, you can take the path on the left that leads to the small San Sebastiano hermitage, of which modest wall traces remain. The latter was home to hermits in the 16th and 17th centuries, after which it began to be abandoned and fell into ruin. In the rock there is a cavity used to collect water. Short trail but to be followed with care.

This hermitage has a patronal name that is truly on everyone's lips, but only a few will know the person behind it: the feast day of Saint Sylvester (San Silvestro) is December 31st. He lived at the end of the third or beginning of the fourth century and was Bishop of Rome when Emperor Constantine - later generations gave him the nickname "the Great" - recognized Christianity as a religion with the so-called "Edict of Toleration" of Milan, thus ending - at least temporarily - the period of bloody persecution of Christians.
