Gole del Velino, Canyon and ecological site in Province of Rieti, Italy.
The Gole del Velino extends for 14 kilometers between Mount Terminillo and the Abruzzo Apennines, featuring steep cliffs and deep gorges carved by the Velino River.
The Roman Via Salaria, connecting Rome to the Adriatic Sea, passed through these gorges, leading to significant engineering works visible in the landscape.
The medieval Benedictine Abbey of Saints Quirico and Giulitta stands within the gorges, marking an important religious center from the Middle Ages.
The current State Road 4 Via Salaria runs through the gorges, providing access to various observation points and natural formations along the route.
The site contains multiple karst formations and caves, including the San Quirico Cave and Grotta Oscura, which demonstrate the geological processes of the region.
