Province of Rieti, Lazio, Italy

The territory of Borgo Velino was densely populated from antiquity, but the present settlement dates back to more recent times, exactly to the 13th century, when the Anjou founded a town along the Via Salaria, which was originally known as Borghetto, to consolidate the northern frontier of the kingdom of Naples, joining the villages and castles of the area and suppressing the power of feudal lords, especially the Del Duca family, who had their fortress in the castle of Forcapretola.

What to see:

  • The Flavii Nymphaeum - This is one of the monuments of greatest importance in the urban area, formed of the remains of a magnificent building, partly still visible, partly hidden by the Rieti - L'Aquila railway line. It was probably part of a Roman villa, and its name comes from a dedication to the nymphs engraved in a stone, dated 5 BC.
  • Church of Santi Dionisio, Rustico and Eleuterio - The origins of this church go back at least to the 8th century AD, and this was possibly the center around which the medieval village was gradually built. On the façade of the church marble fragments of the Roman age were re-employed. The church contained also fine frescoes, that were detached and are now preserved in the town hall of Borgovelino.
  • Convent of San Francesco - A little outside the center, according to the tradition the monastery was founded by Saint Francis who planted inside the building, near the door, a tree that he himself had cut.
