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.

The Porta Romana in Campagnano di Roma is one of the historic entrances to the medieval village and a symbol of its identity. Impressive and well-preserved, it welcomes visitors with its stone structure that immediately evokes the atmosphere of the past. Crossing it means entering a town rich in history, with charming alleys and characteristic views. Today, it is also a landmark for pilgrims and travelers along the Via Francigena, who find here one of the most fascinating stops on the route to Rome.

The waterfall was built to feed a canal, probably built by the populations that lived in this area even before the arrival of the Romans (at least the 5th century BC) and later, in the 1940s, the same canal fed a hydroelectric plant, now decommissioned. Currently, the canal is passable on foot (or by mountain bike) and connects the waterfall to the gorge below the town of Corchiano. The entire route, without difficulties, lasts about thirty minutes.

The Roman bridge probably dates back to the 3rd century AD and is part of an area rich in historical evidence, including Etruscan cave roads and Faliscan necropolises. The bridge is located within the Natural Monument of the Forre di Corchiano, a protected area designated by the Lazio Region in 2008. This area is characterized by a rich biodiversity and a unique landscape formed by the gorges dug into the tuff.

The waterfall is located in an area known as “Orto del Sambuco”, along the course of the Rio Fratta. This place is characterized by a small grassy plain where the Rio Fratta creates a suggestive waterfall. In the immediate vicinity there is also an ancient Roman humpback bridge, adding a historical element to the natural landscape
