Cammino della Pietra Bianca: activity in several forms

The 130-kilometre circular route Cammino della Pietra Bianca passes through Attigliano. You can walk it, ride it by mountain bike or travel along it in a Joëlette. This range of options makes the route interesting for planning a trip in which activity can play a role in different ways. If you enjoy walking, cycling or trying out a special form of transport, you can make the route a specific focus of your stay. The length of the circular route and the different options help you clearly define the desired level of activity in advance.

Castello di Attigliano and the remains of the complex

The Castello di Attigliano stands in a scenic location on the edge of a terrace above the Tiber Valley. Remains of the walls and six towers survive from the old complex. The Castello also has a recently restored entrance portal dating from the 15th century. For days devoted to culture, it therefore offers a tangible combination of a scenic setting and preserved historic fabric.

Fountain, main square and Portovecchio

The Fontana dei Delfini e dei Tritoni stands in the main square of the historic town centre and is one of the town’s most important landmarks. The fountain was built in 1885 as a municipal decorative feature and for the public water supply, using water from two public springs. In Portovecchio, visible remains of Roman villas can be seen; they developed around a river port on the Tiber. This river port remained in use at least until the Middle Ages. The historical range therefore extends from a municipal decorative feature to Roman villas and a river port that was used for a long period.

Museum and community activities

In Attigliano Scalo, the Library Museum, also known as the Museo della Mitologia, dei Riti e dei Simboli, offers free guided tours. The tours provide an introduction to esoteric sciences, religions and ancient knowledge. The Pro Loco di Attigliano also promotes excursions and activities for the community that create a connection with the town’s cultural heritage. This gives you a cultural selection ranging from the museum experience to community-led activities.

Manfricoli and events in Attigliano

Cuisine is also one of Attigliano’s distinctive features. Manfricoli is a traditional Umbrian dish and a classic speciality in Attigliano. The preparation involves making a dough from water and wheat flour. If you would like to discover regional dishes, this simple combination of ingredients offers an accessible introduction to a speciality rooted in the local area. In September, Attigliano hosts the event “Attijano vecchio de... gusto”. The Pro Loco di Attigliano also organises the event “Sapori d'Autunno”.
