Province of Rieti, Administrative province in Lazio, Italy
Description
The Province of Rieti is an administrative area in Lazio that spans mountainous terrain with several mountain ranges running through it. The territory contains many municipalities and villages arranged across a patchwork of highlands, valleys, and plains.
History
The area was once home to the ancient Sabines, whose culture and people blended with the Roman world over centuries. The modern province was created in the early 20th century, reshaping how the region was administered.
Culture
The region is shaped by a network of sanctuaries and monasteries scattered across valleys and slopes that draw pilgrims and visitors. These places of faith remain centers where religious life and spiritual traditions continue to unfold naturally in the daily rhythm of the area.
Practical
The provincial capital of Rieti sits relatively close to Rome and is easy to reach by road and public transportation connections. Exploring this region fully requires your own transportation to visit the scattered municipalities and nature areas across the territory.
Did you know?
An artificial reservoir created in the 1930s offers water sports and recreation while serving as an important water storage facility for the region. This lake is much larger than many visitors expect and changes the landscape in an otherwise mountain-dominated area.
