The Treja valley

Activities on the Treja Valley

The Treja valley + _

The Treja is a modest stream that rises from the Sabatini mountains to flow into the Tiber at the height of Civita Castellana. There are about 30 km of route in which it crosses largely cultivated countryside, but the waters over time have created a world that is still wild: it is that of the gorges, dug into the soft tuffs of the ancient volcano of Sabatino.

History + _

Established with L.R. 22 September 1982, no. 43 (B.U.R. 9 October 1982, n. 28), the protected area extends over 628 hectares in the territory of the Municipalities of Calcata and Mazzano Romano. The woods are the most represented environment, a green ribbon that winds through the surrounding countryside following the watercourse. The boundaries of the park generally include the riparian strips up to a few hundred meters deep inland, taking more breath in the central sector to embrace the heights of Pizzopiede and Monte Li Santi just south of Calcata. Here two torrents flow into the Treja river, the Mola ditch and the Selva ditch, which sometimes flow between gorges with vertical walls. The historical centers of Calcata and Mazzano Romano are the first historical-artistic emergencies of the park, but there are numerous archaeological testimonies including those linked to the ancient settlement of Narce. As for biodiversity, the flora and fauna present are also very respectable and include even rare species, which find refuge and tranquility in the environments of the park.

Particularly loved by cinema and advertising screenwriters, it is a natural and privileged gateway to the Treja Valley Park. The combined effect of the frozen water that flows rapidly between the stones and the thick eaves of the trees to cover the sky, guarantees a walk in the cool even on the hottest days of summer.

Heart of the Agro Falisco, the scenery offered by the Treja Valley, especially where the village of Calcata stands, is considered one of the most enchanting landscapes in Lazio. The small medieval village stands on a spur jutting out into the void.

The pre-Roman period: + _

The origins of Calcata, whose very toponym remains an enigma, a civilization culturally similar but not comparable to the Etruscan and perhaps even more ancient. This spread throughout the Tuscia Tiberina starting from the eighth century BC. C.. Innumerable remains scattered around Calcata remain as evidence of this dark period. The name of Calcata, however, appears for the first time much later, in a document dated 772-795, under the pontificate of Hadrian I. However, the ruins of various probably early medieval settlements are visible, such as that of Santa Maria, the whose cut-off tower stands on an eminence of the rocky walls that close the Treja. Later, in the thirteenth century, Calcata entered the orbit of the noble Anguillara family. These erected a castle and the walls but, given the impervious and hidden position, it always remained on the margins of historical events.

From abandonment to rebirth: + _

After a very long solitude, from the 1930s the town began to depopulate due to the frequent collapses of the fragile tufa rock. In the meantime, however, the inhabitants of Calcata moved about 2 km away, building a small modern center (Calcata Nuova). Now completely abandoned and exposed to land subsidence, Calcata was then called the "dying village". A name, this, which at the same time was given to the more famous Civita di Bagnoregio. However, thanks to its decadent and surreal charm, the ghost town gradually began to be repopulated by artists, craftsmen and intellectuals starting from the 1960s.
