Soriano nel Cimino: the Orsini castle and the beech forests

The Orsini castle in Soriano was built for Pope Nicholas III in the 13th century and overlooks the Renaissance village, home to Palazzo Albani-Chigi and the Papacqua fountain, decorated with Mannerist masks.

The Cimino beech forest

Just outside town lies one of Lazio's best-known centuries-old beech forests, with a marked hiking trail — also the starting point for the autumn chestnut festivals.

The beech forest is especially striking in autumn, when the foliage turns the Cimino woods golden.
