A town in the Tiber Valley, Orte is located on a high cliff of tufaceous rock:
the historical centre has a layout which is elliptical in shape, conforming
itself to the configuration of the hillside, and the houses in the outskirts are
placed on the edge of the walls of tufaceous rock, presenting a sight which is
quite unique. The town is an important road junction, due to its position: at
the intersection of the roads which come up from the Tiber Valley and of the
road which arrives from Viterbo.
In correspondence to the railway station, the town of Orte Scalo has recently
developed; the Fontana Ipogea is interesting to see, created in the times of
ancient Rome and remaining for years the only water source for the town. The
Renaissance aqueduct is also an evocative feature; in the past, it had the
function of delivering the water of the springs on the hillside of the Grazie to
the underground spring of the piazza.
In the historical centre, Piazza della Libertà has always been the meeting place
between civilian life and religious life; in Orte, there are a large number of
churches: the Baroque Basilica of Santa Maria Assunta, the Church of San Pietro
alla Rocca, the Church of San Biagio in Roman style, the Church and ex Monastery
of San Francesco and San'Agostino. Furthermore, the town centre is adorned with
many fine, noble buildings, amongst which: Palazzo Nuzzi commissioned in the
early 1700's by Cardinal Nuzzi, Palazzo dell'Orologio, originally Palazzo del
Podestà, Palazzo Roberteschi as well as many others. In addition to admiring all
of these wonders, in Orte it is possible to enjoy the excellently run spa
complex which uses the natural sulphurous waters; it is open from May to
September and is a paradise of relaxation and enjoyment.
