Attractions and Places To See around Cellere - Top 20

It can be reached after a walk (also accessible by bike) along a path that runs alongside the Fiora River; the last stretch is accessible only on foot. Impressive.

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/

Gravel suitable for road bikes. It's worth it, because the road then becomes a good-quality paved section along the lake. Most paved secondary roads in Italy are in significantly worse condition than this gravel.

The Rocca Farnese, located in Tuscia, is an imposing 16th-century structure built around a medieval tower, which dominates the historic center of Ischia di Castro. The palace, unfinished for centuries, was recently restored by the new owner, bringing to light ancient forms and a walled Renaissance loggia. Originally built in the 13th century as a fortress, it was transformed into a palace in the 16th century, perhaps designed by Antonio da Sangallo the Younger. It was the residence of the Farnese, lords of the Duchy of Castro, and, after the end of the duchy in 1649, it passed to the Apostolic Chamber and various families.

Unfortunately I have to disagree. It will definitely be nicer. The gravel path, which is suitable for racing bikes but is borderline, is followed by asphalt paths directly by the lake, partly without any development until about 7 km before Bolsena. Everything can be ridden on a racing bike, although not too fast. The lap around the lake is not a racing tour if you want to get off the roads.

That's exactly how it is! Wonderfully secluded beach, clear water, you just have to swim! Further towards Bolsena there is more infrastructure (restaurants, boat rentals), but it doesn't get any nicer.

Vulci is an ancient Etruscan city 8 km from the Tyrrhenian Sea. Vulci was one of the Etruscan Twelve Cities. In history the city is mentioned only once on the occasion of a 280 BC. Mentioned of the triumph celebrated by the Romans over Vulci in the 4th century BC, when it was conquered by an army led by Tiberius Coruncanius. In 273, the Romans also made Cosa, which was part of Vulci as a port (today the ruins of Ansedonia), a colony. (Source: Wikipedia) The first parts of this ancient city were discovered in the 1950s. In 1970 another house was being built (party house?). The excavations are still ongoing. A visit to the archaeological park costs €10. There are signs for a long loop and a short loop. The long one supposedly lasts 3 hours, the short one 2 hours. We walked the long way (5km). It is advisable to follow the recommended walking direction, as most of the excavations can be seen at the beginning. You can then still decide whether to go the full round or not. It also makes sense not to go when it's too hot, as there is almost no shade.

Stretch of a couple of km unpaved, but it is a gravel in good condition that can also be traveled by road bike. The road runs along one of the best beaches of Lake Bolsena.
