Fiano Romano

Fiano Romano is a commune roughly 40 kilometers north of Rome featuring a medieval castle from the 15th century at its heart. The fortress includes a cylindrical tower, square structures, and perimeter walls topped with crenellated battlements.

Ninth-century documents mention the area as FUNDUS FIANUS, listing it among properties held by the Abbey of Farfa to the north. The settlement later became an administrative center shaped by the medieval castle that still defines its identity.

The Church of Santo Stefano Nuovo shapes the town center with its three-nave layout and houses frescoes and burial monuments dating to the 13th century. Visitors can see religious artworks that reflect the community's spiritual heritage across generations.

The town is accessible via the A1 highway, which provides good connections to major urban centers. Regular transport services run through the area, making it straightforward to explore both the settlement and nearby attractions.

The Villa dei Volusii, a Roman estate from the 1st century BCE, stands nearby and displays architectural remains from the imperial period. Archaeological finds offer insights into how wealthy Roman families lived in ancient times.
