Rieti

The city extends across a hilltop at 405 meters elevation, overlooking the Rieti Valley and surrounded by the Sabine Hills and Monte Terminillo mountains.

The Romans transformed the surrounding area from a lake into a fertile basin, establishing Reate as a strategic point along the Via Salaria trade route.

The Rieti Cathedral, initiated in 1109, displays architectural features from multiple periods and contains significant religious artworks from medieval and Renaissance periods.

The Stadio Raul Guidobaldi athletics facility maintains international standards and provides training grounds for professional athletes throughout the competition season.

The geographical position of Rieti at the intersection of ancient Roman roads has earned it recognition as the exact center of the Italian peninsula.
