Nepi On the trail

Lucrezia Borgia's fortress and a catacomb six metres high, with a guide

Nepi

The museum is the door, not the destination. The guides take you out of it: into the fortress Lucrezia Borgia held, and down into a catacomb whose galleries stand far taller than you do.

How the day goes

  1. Start at the town museum in Nepi, where the visits are booked and set off.
  2. The Rocca dei Borgia, the fortress Lucrezia Borgia held as lady of the town.
  3. Then underground, into the catacomb of Santa Savinilla.
  4. Back up into the town, with the museum itself free to walk round.

The guided visits run at set times at the weekend and are charged separately, so the times are worth confirming by phone.
