Some history: Numa Pompilio, the second legendary king of Rome, was a Sabine and he was the one who gave Rome its first laws.
But there are also vestiges of an even earlier civilisation : long before Roman times the ancient Mediterranean mother goddess Vacuna lived here, and near to the beautiful hamlet of Vacone there still are the ruins of an ancient fountain dedicated to her.
Important Roman vestiges can be visited in Torri in Sabina - the site of Vescovio-, in the area of Fara Sabina – the site of Cures -, and Roman villas were present all over Sabina.
Casperia
There are also beautiful monuments of ancient Christianity to be visited : Vescovio cathedral, the abbey of Farfa, S. Pietro in Montebuono, and others.
A medieval structure can be seen in most of the main towns, villages and hamlets, all built on top of a hill, and with walls and towers often present.
Most of them have a peaceful atmosphere and are quite beautiful.
And nowadays the region is still in harmony with its beautiful green countryside, mainly unspoilt.
Agriculture is the main activity, and recently quality tourism too.
Throughout the year, but mainly in summer, spring and autumn, traditional festivals take place in most villages: an occasion for meetings and celebations, with music, traditional food and street performances.
The main nature sports available in the region are trekking, biking, horseback riding, rafting, swimming and climbing.
