(Translated by Google) A place of great beauty, dating back to the 12th century: the ancient cathedral is now deconsecrated and is used as an auditorium by the University or for conferences and exhibitions. The façade is majestic with many reliefs and an imposing bell tower, inside there are vivid fragments of frescoes and large portions of Cosmatesque flooring. An extraordinary recovery in the enchanting city of Narni. (Original) Un luogo di grande bellezza, risalente al XII secolo: l'antica cattedrale oggi è sconsacrata e viene utilizzata come auditorium dall'Università o per congressi e mostre. Maestosa la facciata con molti rilievi e un'imponente torre campanaria, all'interno si susseguono frammenti vivissimi di affreschi e ampie porzioni di pavimentazione cosmatesca. Un recupero straordinario nell'incantevole città di Narni.

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful auditorium, in a splendid, very old converted church, also an exhibition and conference centre. In the heart of the historic center of Bern, between the town hall square and the university. The only logistical problem is the extreme scarcity of nearby parking. However, a few hundred meters away (ten minutes on foot) there are car parks serving the historic center connected with escalators and lifts. (Original) Auditorium molto bello, in una splendida antichissima chiesa riadattata, anche centro espositivo e per convegni. Nel cuore del centro storico bernese, tra piazza del municipio e università. Unico problema logistico l'estrema scarsità di parcheggi prossimi. A poche centinaia di metri (dieci minuti a piedi) ci sono però i parcheggi a servizio del centro storico collegati con scale mobili e ascensori.

(Translated by Google) The former cathedral of Santa Maria Maggiore of Narni, then San Domenico, now the Mauro Bortolotti Auditorium is strategic for Narni and its surroundings for history, culture, tourism and service to events and conferences (Original) L'ex cattedrale di Santa Maria Maggiore di Narni, poi San Domenico, ora Auditorium Mauro Bortolotti è per Narni e dintorni, strategico per storia cultura turismo e servizio ad eventi e convegni

(Translated by Google) The church is imposing and wonderful in terms of structure, decorations, style, etc. etc. In fact, the church deserves a 5-star rating. Unfortunately, some "genius" (evidently on the upper floors) authorized the "rape" of this wonderful structure by burying the entire floor with industrial cement (except for a few sporadic square meters here and there) and therefore everything that a church of such an age and importance could hide underneath. Long live Italy, its bureaucracy and its corruption! (Original) La chiesa è imponente e meravigliosa come struttura, decorazioni, stile, ecc ecc. Infatti la chiesa meriterebbe 5 stelle di valutazione. Purtroppo qualche "genio" (evidentemente ai piani alti) ha autorizzato lo "stupro" di questa meravigliosa struttura seppellendo con cemento industriale tutto il pavimento (salvo qualche sporadico metro quadro qua e là)e quindi tutto ciò che una chiesa di tale epoca ed importanza potesse celare al di sotto. Viva l'Italia, la sua burocrazia e la sua corruzione!

(Translated by Google) A truly evocative place, a gigantic environment, connected to the splendid Narni Sotterranea, visited during the last Terni Horror Fest. A more than excellent combination! Our group's guide was very nice and super helpful. The only flaw: the environment can be cold given its size, but it's very bearable! (Original) Un posto davvero suggestivo, ambiente gigantesco, collegato alla splendida Narni Sotterranea, visitato in occasione dello scorso Terni Horror Fest. Un binomio piú che eccellente! La guida del nostro gruppo è stata simpaticissima e super disponibile. Unica pecca: l'ambiente puó essere freddo data la sua grandezza, ma si tratta di una cosa sopportabilissima!

(Translated by Google) It is truly suggestive because during the renovation they made some old parts reappear, leaving the lights with soft lighting under the glass floor, not to mention the vaults and frescoes. The only flaw is that it is really cold (Original) È veramente suggestivo perché nella ristrutturazione hanno fatto riapparire delle parti vecchie lasciando le luce con un'illuminazione soft sotto il pavimento vetrato per non parlare delle volte e degli affreschi. Unica pecca che è veramente freddo

(Translated by Google) I searched far and wide to admire the river in its wild beauty but unfortunately I didn't find a single public access that wasn't on private property or under a road bridge. Inaccessible (Original) Ho cercato in lungo ed in largo di poter ammirare il fiume nella sua selvaggia bellezza ma sfortunatamente non ho trovato un solo accesso pubblico che non fosse in una proprietà privata o sotto un pote stradale. Inaccessibile

(Translated by Google) Beautiful, it runs through the entire Valnerina and shortly before reaching Terni it collects the waters of the Velino which flows into it forming the Marmore Falls. (Original) Bellissimo, percorre tutta la Valnerina e poco prima di giungere a Terni raccoglie le acque del Velino che vi si getta formando le Cascate delle Marmore.

(Translated by Google) The pedestrian and cycle path created naturally on the right bank of the Nera river is beautiful, basically starting from Ponte Alliende, in the center of Terni, you reach the border with the municipality of Narni. In contact with nature and the coolness of the river, ideal for sports and walks without having to take the car. (Original) Bellissimo il percorso pedonale e ciclabile ricavato naturalmente sull'argine destro del fiume Nera, in pratica partendo da Ponte Alliende, nel centro di Terni, si arriva fino al confine con il comune di Narni. A contatto con la natura e con la frescura del fiume, ideale per sport e passeggiate senza dover prendere la macchina.

(Original) Costeggiare il fiume Nera è come fare una gita in luoghi senza tempo, dove gli uomini sono riusciti a mantenere intatte le bellezze della natura.

(Translated by Google) We are a family with a two-year-old daughter. The breakfast is plentiful and varied, so much so that we even had a snack every day of our stay. The village is nearby, accessible via a short climb. The garden is equipped for outdoor lunches and dinners. The house is equipped with all amenities, including a crib for our daughter. Marco, the owner, is incredibly kind. There is also a bike rental service nearby, very convenient for exploring the Nera Gorges, an enchanting route immersed in nature. I also recommend the Mole water trail, easily accessible from the B&B Narnia, and the Rocca di Albornoz: a place to relax, stroll along the river, and, on hot days, enjoy a refreshing dip. The B&B is completely clean and sanitized. Highly recommended: for us, the best of all! (Original) Siamo una famiglia con una bimba di due anni. La colazione è abbondante e varia, così ricca da aver fatto anche merenda per tutti i giorni del soggiorno. Il borgo è vicino, raggiungibile con una salita. Il giardino è attrezzato per pranzare e cenare all’aperto. La casa è dotata di tutti i servizi, compresa una culla attrezzata per la nostra bambina. Marco, il proprietario, è di una gentilezza unica. A breve distanza c’è anche un servizio di noleggio bici, comodissimo per esplorare le Gole del Nera, un itinerario incantevole immerso nella natura. Consiglio anche il percorso d’acqua del Mole, facilmente raggiungibile dal B&B Narnia e la Rocca di Albornoz : un luogo dove rilassarsi, passeggiare lungo il fiume e, nelle giornate calde, concedersi un bagno rinfrescante.Il B&B è tutto pulito e igienizzato alla perfezione. Consigliatissimo: per noi, il migliore di tutti!

(Translated by Google) Located at the foot of the medieval village of Narni. It is easy to access, given the parking a stone's throw from the house. Spacious and well-kept rooms. Helpful and friendly manager (Original) Posizionato ai piedi del borgo medievale di Narni. Risulta di facile accesso, dato il parcheggio a due passi dall’abitazione. Camere spaziose e ben tenute. Gestore disponibile e cordiale

(Translated by Google) We stayed four nights at the B&B Narnia & la Rocca di Albornoz and had a wonderful time. The house is equipped with all the necessary amenities and has a beautiful garden, where we enjoyed dining al fresco on summer evenings. The village is very close, and behind the property there's a hill that can be reached on foot or by car; however, if you have children, we recommend a car. The owner was extremely kind and always available: we've visited many B&Bs in Italy, but this one, for its courtesy and attention to guests, is definitely the best we've stayed at. Highly recommended! (Original) Abbiamo soggiornato 4 notti al B&B Narnia & la Rocca di Albornoz e ci siamo trovati benissimo. La casa è dotata di tutti i servizi necessari e dispone di un bellissimo giardino, dove abbiamo cenato volentieri all’aperto nelle sere d’estate. Il borgo è molto vicino e, alle spalle della struttura, c’è una salita che si può percorrere sia a piedi che in auto; con bambini, però, consigliamo l’auto. Il proprietario è stato gentilissimo e sempre disponibile: ne abbiamo visitati tanti di B&B in Italia, ma questo, per cortesia e attenzione verso l’ospite, è sicuramente il migliore in cui siamo stati. Consigliatissimo!

(Translated by Google) Beautiful place, wonderful view, shame about a long way if on foot and the ticket office staff being quite rude and inhuman!!! They made an elderly lady who was feeling unwell come out of the courtyard! Instead of helping her, they invited her, with little good manners!!!, to come out!!! It would be nice to have a shuttle service from the village! (Original) Posto bellissimo, panorama stupendo peccato tanta strada se a piedi e il personale della biglietteria alquanto scortese e disumano!!! Hanno fatto uscire dal cortile, una signora anziana che si stava sentendo poco bene! Invece che soccorrere hanno invitato, con poco buone maniere!!!, ad uscire!!! Sarebbe bello avere un servizio navetta dal paese!

(Translated by Google) Well-maintained accommodation. Buffet breakfast with fruit, drinks and snacks, milk, coffee, tea. On foot you can reach the center in 15-20 minutes (Original) Alloggio ben curato. Colazione buffet con frutta, bevande e merendine, latte, caffè, tè. A piedi si raggiunge il centro in 15-20 min

(Translated by Google) The owners were really friendly. They offered a wide variety of breakfast items. (Original) Proprietari veramente molto cordiali. Per la colazione hanno messo a disposizione un'ampia varietà di prodotti.

I loved and was also disapointed. 2 hour tour in italian language because english translator over phone didnt work. They do not have english speaking guide only app on phone. But still you find out how local boys discovered this church hidden beneath the earth, because the monks hid it. This church was inquisition church with prison and even torture chamber. And way out is through above grounds church. Nice piece of history.

It is ok to visit this underground site, but not for 1,5 hours covering just 4 small rooms and 1 church. Especially since the church was the most spectacular but you were allowed to spend there the shortest time. English audio guide is downloadable but it is just a very short version of what the guide talked and the church was almost not included. I added 1 star for the kindness of the staff and that dogs are allowed.

Narni Sotterranea is undoubtedly the most fascinating, insightful, educational, and emotionally compelling attraction in Umbria. What truly sets this experience apart is not just what you see and explore, but the captivating way in which the story unfolds, brought to life by the passionate and knowledgeable guides. Their storytelling transports visitors through centuries of history, unveiling the mysteries and secrets of this underground world in an engaging and immersive way.

One of the best guided tours I've had ever. Our guide Letizia, with her unparalleled passion and enthusiasm, took us back in time, reenacting, explaining, and revealing parts of history never heard of before. This is not to miss - the story of Narni sotterranea is a grand one for Narni, Umbria, Italy, catholicism, architecture, and archaeology to name a few. Totally recommended! Grazie Letizia!!

Absolute must-visit if you are in the area, such a beautiful backstory of its discovery and the tour is very well done. The tour takes around 1h30min. During winter the tour is only available with an Italian-speaking guide, in summer there are other languages available as well. There are audioguides for other languages though.

Very interesting site. Staff is friendly and professional. Calling in required for booking. There's not a lot of walking, and you can sit at some places while the guide is talking.

What an absolute hidden gem! Tours in English are available in the summer and our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about this incredible place. We were treated to a well narrated story that developed as you went through the complex. A must do if you find yourself anywhere near this beautiful town.

Not much to see there. Can easily be slipped. The area is unattended. It's full of wild vegetation and packed with mosquitoes.

It's a bit hard to see it in full at the mo but that which you can see lives up to its reputation. Massive. As ever Roman megastructures built for eternity, probably by slaves overseen by military engineers of some genius.

Impressive how huge this bridge must have been. Very nice for a short stop. Don't forget to walk to the other side of the water, use the former railway bridge, now a bike path.

Lovely walk from Narnia to Narnia Scalo Walk along river.

Historical architecture half of the bridge has fallen with the remains on the other side of the "river" there is a nice walk aswell

Wonderful view. There a road where you can see the bridge and have a nice walk/run. Recommended!

Amazing view even from down below, well preserved from this side of the river, you can see the collapsed side if you cross the bridge.

Okay walk but lousy sign for the center of Italy

Peace and quiet in the mountains

Welcome to Narnia

(Translated by Google) Walk in the woods, relaxing in safety and then arriving at our destination, we truly felt like we were in the center of Italy😉 (Original) Passeggiata nel bosco,rilassante in sicurezza per poi arrivare a destinazione,ci siamo sentiti veramente al centro dell'Italia😉

(Translated by Google) Google Maps takes you to the wrong location compared to the Italian language center. The actual parking lot is at "parcheggio ex montagnone." If you go down the wrong road, like we did, take the path up at the first fork and then go down at the second fork, and you'll be there. The location is nice, but for our adventure, it wasn't worth it. (Original) Google maps ti porta in un posto errato rispetto il centro d'italiano. Il parcheggio effettivo è a "parcheggio ex montagnone". Se passate nella strada sbagliata, come noi, prendete al primo bivio il sentiero in alto per poi scendere verso il basso al secondo bivio e sarete arrivati. Il posto è carino ma per la nostra avventura non ne è valsa la pena

(Translated by Google) I already knew Narni and the Nera River Gorges, but I didn't know Central Italy was there. A wonderful discovery: after a walk through the woods, you reach a Roman bridge, and there lies Central Italy. I recommend it for nature lovers. (Original) Narni e le Gole del Nera già le conoscevo, ma non sapevo che il centro Italia si trovasse lì. Splendida scoperta, dopo un percorso fatto nel bosco, si arriva ad un ponte Romano e lì si trova il Centro d Italia. Per chi ama la natura lo consiglio.

The history and views are amazing but only 1 room is opened with historical interest... the contemporary museum is a great way to use other spaces but I wish I could have seen the private collections

Nice walk up from historic Narni, up cobblestone alleys. Don't rely on Google maps which take you on main car route. The fort is mostly empty unless there is an exhibition. Grounds and views are great. WC available. Not much written in English. Tour in Italian only.

Beautiful castle, especially from the outside and the view all around is breathtaking. The audio guide tour was rather short and boring though.

Beautiful castle with a breathtaking panoramic view. The staff are kind and helpful. Definitely worth a visit!!!

Worth the trip to see the castle close up, but very disappointing inside - For the price of €10 per person for entry, we were expecting to see much more than some poor contemporary art. Half of the castle was closed to the public. The building is magnificent, with amazing potential, but a waste of the space inside. No surprise it was empty inside except for three small groups of people on a Saturday. Would love to have seen some more historical artefacts and a museum describing the history and architecture.

I think the view from the castle is more impressive than the castle itself. It's cool but really nothing special.

When we first visited this place i was surprised at how big it was because for some reason i expected it to be smaller. The castle is beautiful and you can get the taste of life by walking through it. In the end we had a fantastic experience when the people at the museum showed ys how medievil siege engines worked. We really liked the trebuchet firing water ballons in the valley below.

Small but well organized collection of artifacts and artworks from the prehistoric era through Roman times and up to the Renaissance.

Very interesting exhibits, Narni has indeed a very long history. Still, the museum needs to present the information in English for non-italian-speaking visitors.

Fascinating history of caves, prehistoric findings, and up to modern day.

A must place to visit

(Translated by Google) A museum exhibition that traces the history of Narni and its territory from prehistory to the Renaissance. For just €9 the ticket allows entry to the museum and the Albornoz fortress, including the audio guide for both. (Original) Un esposizione museale che ripercorre, dalla preistoria fino al Rinascimento, la storia di Narni e del suo territorio. Con soli 9€ il biglietto permette l'ingresso al museo e alla rocca Albornoz comprensivo per entrambe dell'audio guida.

(Translated by Google) Narni's city history museum is very interesting, comprehensive, and very well-maintained. I was pleasantly welcomed by a knowledgeable young woman who is proud of the institution she works for. Unfortunately, it's perhaps not well-marked and therefore rarely visited. The entrance fee is excellent, audio guides are provided, and for the little ones, there are captioned descriptions of some much-loved works! (Original) Museo cittadino della storia di Narni molto interessante, completo e molto ben tenuto. Piacevole l accoglienza offerta da una ragazza ben preparata e orgogliosa della struttura per cui lavora forse, purtroppo, non abbastanza segnalata e quindi poco frequentata. biglietto d ingresso ad ottimo prezzo, audioguide offerte e, per i più piccoli, descrizioni didascaliche di alcune opere molto apprezzate!

(Translated by Google) I agree with the mixed reviews, the museum isn't highlighted. If you walk around Narni, I happened to see a single billboard placed high up on a corner of a building... the structure is very large, the staff is friendly, but in fact, in some rooms it seems bare and above all, many exhibits seem repetitive and placed there just to fill up... the multimedia table didn't work and the routes weren't intuitive and the signage didn't help you... it would have enormous potential, in my opinion, but it's under-exploited. (Original) Concordo con i pareri contrastanti , il museo non viene messo in risalto se giri per Narni mi è capitato di vedere per caso uno e unico cartellone messo in alto su un angolo di un palazzo ... la struttura è molto grossa il personale è gentile pero in effetti in alcune stanze sembra spoglio e sopratutto molti reperti sembrano ripetitivi e messi lì tanto per riempire... non funzionava il tavolo multimediale e i percorsi non erano intuitivi e la segnalazione non ti aiutava ... avrebbe delle grandissime potenzialità secondo me poco sfruttate

I really recommend it. Such a deep spiritual ambient. Don't forget to visit the higher part of the location which leads to the cave. Enter to the cave if you had the chance (although it's written to not enter, but it doesn't seem serious, because there are neither a person to control nor any lock or gate to prohibite. If you were lucky, you can pick up some Castagna (fruit) from the tree that S. Francesco planted. Enjoy it. Also when you visit the church, you may find doors that are closed, but actually you can open them and you'll find intersting medieval rooms there. Enjoy it.

Awe inspiring visit! Getting to be where St Francis was is such a blessing!

Peaceful beautiful...meditation weekends offered St.Francis died here

Peaceful place

Great place of quiet with lots of history, too.

One of the few real "prayer" places still surviving in 201x ...

Tranquil and serene. Highly recommend

(Translated by Google) I dedicated a short visit to this church during an afternoon visit to Narni. It is certainly not a flashy church, however it is kept with great elegance and has some early medieval frescoes inside which have their charm. (Original) Ho dedicato una breve visita a questa chiesa durante una visita a Narni di pomeriggio . Non è sicuramente una chiesa appariscente , tuttavia è tenuta con una grande eleganza e presenta al suo interno alcuni affreschi alto medievali che hanno il loro fascino.

(Translated by Google) It's a shame we almost rushed past it, but it's definitely worth revisiting... It has a unique portal with depictions of animals, such as a dragon, which have both positive and negative metaphorical meanings. Inside are splendid columns with Romanesque capitals, except for one depicting the prophet Daniel in the lions' den (he was thrown there because of his faith in God, but emerged unharmed). During restoration, they discovered medieval frescoes, some well-preserved. Small but truly evocative, it deserves a more thorough visit, which I'll reserve for next time. (Original) Peccato esserci passati quasi di corsa, merita di essere sicuramente rivisitata... Ha un portale unico con raffigurazioni di animali, come il drago, che hanno valore metaforico sia positivo che negativo. All'interno splendide colonne, con capitelli romanici, tranne una che rappresenta il profeta Daniele nella fossa dei leoni (vi fu gettato per "colpa" della sua fede in Dio ma ne uscì illeso). Durante dei restauri hanno trovato degli affreschi medievali, alcuni ben conservati. Piccola ma veramente suggestiva merita una visita più accurata che mi riserverò di fare la prossima volta.

(Translated by Google) 2023 September Narni visit to the Church of Santa Maria Impensole, very beautiful, located in the historic center and dates back to around 1100. Inside you can see valuable frescoes. Worth visiting (Original) 2023 Settembre Narni visita alla Chiesa di Santa Maria Impensole molto bella si trova nel centro storico risale al 1100 circa al suo interno si notano pregevoli affreschi.

(Translated by Google) A small church located along the alley leading to the Narni underground, nestled beneath a splendid portico. A must-see! Pay attention to the opening hours. (Original) Una chiesa piccola situata lungo il vicolo che porta alla Narni sotterranea, incastonata sotto ad uno splendido porticato. Da vedere assolutamente! Attenzione agli orari di apertura

(Translated by Google) Splendid example of a Romanesque church, rebuilt in the 12th century on a previous one from the 8th century. The façade is preceded by a portico with lowered arches with a portal adorned with bas-reliefs. The three-nave interior with columns and capitals from spolglio, or recovered from previous buildings, is suggestive. The remaining frescoes are also interesting. (Original) Splendido esempio di chiesa romanica, ricostruita nel secolo XII su una precedente dell'VIII secolo. La facciata è preceduta da un portico ad archi ribassati con un portale adorno di bassorilievi. Suggestivo l'interno a tre navate con colonne e capitelli di spolglio, ovvero recuperati da precedenti edifici. Interessanti anche gli affreschi rimasti.

(Translated by Google) Although very ancient and rich in history, with beautiful remains of frescoes and interesting underground passages, what is most striking when entering this small and intimate church is the romantic and moving atmosphere that can be felt there, accentuated by the classical musicians who perform here. perform at all hours. An almost mystical experience! (Original) Seppur molto antica e ricca di storia, con dei bei resti di affreschi ed interessanti sotterranei, quello che colpisce maggiormente, entrando in questa piccola e raccolta chiesa, è l'atmosfera romantica e commovente che vi si respira, accentuata dai musicisti classici che qui si esibiscono ad ogni ora. Un esperienza quasi mistica!

(Translated by Google) The church is located in the historic center of Narni. It was built as a place of Benedictine worship in 1175, as reported by an engraving on the architrave of the central door, and owes its name to the fact that it is located on a slope. In the basement of the church there are two Roman cisterns. The stone building has a plan with three naves, separated by columns that support segmental arches. The roof is made of wooden trusses. At the end of the nave there is a small apse and the stone altar. The entrance portal is adorned with friezes with plants and animals with symbolic meaning: a lion, an eagle, a lamb and a peacock. In the years of 1960 during a restoration some medieval frescoes were found under the plaster. (Original) La chiesa è situata nel centro storico di Narni. Venne edificata come luogo di culto benedettino nel  1175, come riportato da una incisione sull' architrave della porta centrale, e deve il suo nome al fatto che si trova su un pendio. Nei sotterranei si trovano della chiesa due cisterne romane. La costruzione in pietra ha pianta a tre navate, separate da colonne che sorreggono archi a sesto ribassato. La copertura è a capriate in legno. In fondo alla navata si trova una piccola abside e l'altare in pietra. Il portale di ingresso è ornato con fregi con piante e animali dal significato simbolico: un leone, un'aquila, un agnello e un pavone. Negli a.ni del 1960 durante un restauro sono stati trovati sotto l'intonaco degli affreschi medievali.

Wonderful medieval church,the main church built on the hilltop that kept Narni safe for centuries. While the small town is depopulated as most of small towns in Italy, especially in centre & southern regions,this church with its multi century history is worth a trip. Still perfectly run as a Catholic church, it marks the central tiny square with its pair or bell towers. Parking practically impossible but a local bus line has its stop right there.

Beautiful cathedral. Major and ancient artworks.

Remarkable medieval church with some interesting works of art spanning the medieval period up until the Renaissance.

Worth a few minutes

(Translated by Google) A splendid example of medieval art and architecture, the cathedral stands on the burial place of the Patron Saint, of which the chapel on which the first nucleus of the Church was built around 500 AD is visible. The chapels and the works of art contained therein are well described by interesting explanatory captions. Not to be missed when visiting Narni (Original) Splendido esempio di arte e architettura medievale, la cattedrale sorge sul luogo di sepoltura del Santo Patrono, di cui è visibile il sacello su cui è sorto il primo nucleo della Chiesa intorno al 500 D.C. Le cappelle e le opere d'arte ivi contenute sono ben descritte da interessanti didascalie esplicative. Da non perdere nella visita di Narni

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful, the Cathedral of San Giovenale, commonly known simply as the Cathedral of Narni, is the main place of Catholic worship in the city of Narni, in Umbria, and represents a significant example of medieval religious architecture. Dedicated to San Giovenale, the first bishop and patron saint of the city, its construction dates back to the 12th century, probably overlapping a previous early Christian basilica from the 4th-5th century. The cathedral stands right in the heart of the historic center, near the main square, and dominates the entire ancient urban fabric with its sobriety and grandeur. The architectural appearance of the cathedral is strongly marked by the Romanesque style, with subsequent Gothic and Renaissance modifications. Externally, the facade appears rather simple and bare, made of local stone, with a modest portal surmounted by an arched window. Despite the external simplicity, the interior preserves an artistic heritage of great value. The underground area that I was able to visit during a trip in April 2025 is very beautiful, it really deserves a stop for those who are passionate about history and monuments. (Original) Molto Bella, la Cattedrale di San Giovenale, comunemente nota semplicemente come Cattedrale di Narni, è il principale luogo di culto cattolico della città di Narni, in Umbria, e rappresenta un esempio significativo di architettura religiosa medievale. Dedicata a San Giovenale, primo vescovo e patrono della città, la sua edificazione risale al XII secolo, sovrapponendosi probabilmente a una precedente basilica paleocristiana del IV-V secolo. La cattedrale sorge proprio nel cuore del centro storico, nei pressi della piazza principale, e domina con la sua sobrietà e imponenza l'intero tessuto urbano antico. L'aspetto architettonico della cattedrale è fortemente segnato dallo stile romanico, con successive modifiche gotiche e rinascimentali. Esternamente, la facciata appare piuttosto semplice e spoglia, realizzata in pietra locale, con un portale modesto sormontato da una finestra ad arco. Nonostante la semplicità esteriore, l'interno custodisce un patrimonio artistico di grande valore. Molto bella è l'area ipogea che ho potuto visitare nel corso di una gita in Aprile 2025, merita davvero una tappa per chi è appassionato di storia e monumenti.

(Translated by Google) Narni Cathedral, dedicated to Saint Juvenal, still reflects the medieval character of the entire city, despite the many subsequent renovations that have partially replaced or altered its original appearance. Built over the tomb of the saint, it has undergone various additions over the centuries. (Original) Il Duomo di Narni, dedicato a San Giovenale, rispecchia ancor oggi la natura medievale dell'intera città seppur è stato oggetto di tanti interventi successivi che ne hanno, in parte, sostituito o alterato l'immagine originale. Eretto su quello che è il sepolcro del Santo, nei secoli ha subìto varie superfetazioni.

The path to arrive to the river is dirty and not welcoming but once you are at the river this is nice! The water was about 16-18 degrees on august 4 2025. Price is 8 euros for adult and 3 for childrens

Beautiful spot, with crystal clear running mountain water. Downside is there's nowhere to really sit/lay down given the foot traffic and slope of the stands unless you're one of the early arrivals. Also, no exaggeration, the water was numbing. Air temps approaching 40c and yet the water was somewhere around 10c per the local guides. 8 euros per person to enter is a bit steep given you get nothing.

A beautiful place for a cool dip on hot Italian summer days. A great place for a picnic by the river… for those who haven't packed a picnic basket, there's a place for coffee and delicious sandwiches…

8€ per Person to swim ! It’s in line with the Impression of tourism in Italy. Rip-off. The place looks nice, the water is clear … but we didn’t swim.

There’s no public access to the river. They charge you 10 euros per person to access and they even have shifts so you can’t even stay. Very shady. It was 8 of us and we paid 80 euros. More than Positano. Not worth it.

Loved how clear the water was! Lovely to walk alongside the river and dwell on the thought that C.S. Lewis named his world 'Narnia' after this place. Hannah Brockhaus said: The magical realm of Narnia is the setting of C. S. Lewis' beloved children's book The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. There, four children discover a land of talking animals, mythological creatures, the White Witch, and "the Great Lion:" Aslan. This Narnia is fictional, but more than 2,000 years ago, when Romans ruled the civilized world, Narnia was a real-life city on the Italian peninsula – and it still exists today. The ancient hill-town of Narnia, now called Narni, lies in the central Italian region of Umbria, about 50 miles north of Rome. In the city, you can see remnants of the town's extensive history, from its pre-Roman identity as Nequinum, to antique and medieval Narnia, to the present Narni. Lewis, author of The Chronicles of Narnia, never visited Narni, but he likely knew about the ancient Narnia from reading Roman history, where it is named by such famous writers as Tacitus, Livy, and Pliny the Elder. In 2009, the town received confirmation of Lewis' knowledge of the place when the Christian author's biographer and former personal secretary, Walter Hooper, gifted Narni's local historian, Giuseppe Fortunati, a copy of a Latin atlas owned by Lewis, on which the Belfast-born author had underlined the town named "Narnia." Hooper also relayed that Lewis had told him the name on the atlas had inspired him in the writing of his Chronicles. And while the two places aren't the same – it very rarely snows in Narni, for example – there are connections between the imaginary realm and the real-life city that can still be seen today. One of these connections is the presence of a large stone table, which recalls the stone table in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, upon which the lion Aslan, a representation of Christ in the book, sacrifices himself to save Edmund, one of the four children in the story. Found near the Via Flaminia, an ancient road which leads from Rome to the Adriatic Sea, and which also passes by Narni, stands an ancient stone table believed to date from pre-Roman times, and to have been a place of animal, and possibly even human, sacrifice. The town was founded around 1,000 years before Christ by the Osco-Umbrian people as Nequinum. It was conquered by the Roman Republic in the 4th century BC, and its name was changed to Narnia, after the nearby Nar River. "Nar," Fortunati told EWTN, "means 'water that flows,'" noting that this may also be a reason why Lewis chose the name for his imaginary land, since "water is the source of life."

Awesome river beginning point, the Water is not normal cold it is freezing, extremely cold. You must try to jump in :D

(Translated by Google) Along our journey, which began in early August 2025, thanks to the Pro Loco and especially Alessandro, who opened the doors of one of the most evocative Romanesque churches in Italy, known to most as Santa Pudenziana. Once the Church of Santa Maria in Visciano, it is a spiritual place not to be missed for all art and history enthusiasts visiting southern Umbria. As a pilgrim who has encountered many closed doors to small churches along his travels, it's not a given that I'll find people who love their region so much that they'd dedicate their time to opening a church. Take advantage of it 😇🙂 (Original) Lungo il nostro cammino fatto ad inizio Agosto 2025, grazie alla proloco e specialmente nella persona di Alessandro che ci ha aperto le porte di una delle chiese romaniche più suggestive d’Italia, conosciuta ai più come Santa Pudenziana – un tempo Chiesa di Santa Maria in Visciano è un luogo spirituale da non perdere per tutti gli appassionati di arte e storia in visita nell’Umbria meridionale. Da pellegrino,che lungo i suoi viaggi ha trovato molte porte chiuse di chiesette non è scontato trovare persone che amano cosi il proprio territorio da dedicare il loro tempo per aprire una chiesa. Approfittatene 😇🙂

(Translated by Google) Surprise of surprises...at the end of a country road you find yourself in front of a Romanesque church of absolute simplicity and beauty...it is only open on Sunday afternoons but it is worth going to visit...in my opinion perfect for an intimate and very romantic wedding. (Original) Sorpresa delle sorprese ...in fondo ad una stradina di campagna ti trovi difronte una chiesetta romanica di una semplicità e bellezza assoluta... è aperta solo la domenica pomeriggio ma vale la pena andare a visitarla...secondo me perfetta per un matrimonio intimo e molto romantico

(Translated by Google) Besides being a very fascinating church for its frescoes, few people know that near the entrance of the church itself there is a small display case available for book exchange. (Original) Oltre ad essere una chiesa molto affascinante per i suoi affreschi, in pochi sanno che vicino all'antrata della chiesa stessa è presente una piccola teca disponibile per lo scambio di libri.

(Translated by Google) Splendid example of a small medieval church surrounded by nature. The building has a porch and a high bell tower. Lombard elements such as blind arches and indentations are noted. The marbles used in the porch are reused: one still shows traces of a game similar to "Tris". (Original) Splendido esempio di piccola chiesa medievale immersa nella natura. L'edificio presenta un protiro e un'alta torre campanaria . Si rilevano elementi lombardi come archetti ciechi e addentellature. I marmi utilizzati nel protiro sono di riuso: uno mostra ancora le tracce di un gioco simile al "Tris".

(Translated by Google) Beautiful well maintained 11th century church. Unfortunately, to see the inside you need to book. I finally managed to see it internally too, truly exceptional. (Original) Bellissima chiesa dell'undicesimo secolo ben mantenuta. Purtroppo per vedere l'interno occorre prenotarsi. Finalmente sono riuscito a vederla anche internamente, veramente eccezionale.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful, both inside and out. It is usually closed, find out before going, however it is worth just observing it from the surrounding garden... Go there. (Original) Bellissima, sia all'interno che all'esterno. Di solito è chiusa, informarsi prima di andarci, comunque vale la pena soltanto osservarla dal giardino circostante... Andateci.

(Translated by Google) So for those interested in visiting this church from the year 1000....remember that it is only open on Sundays for the moment.... thanks to the Italian Catholic association of the Italian Templars....and in any case, always inform yourself first to go.... because finding it closed I assure you that it would be a real shame... the church is frescoed and worth a visit to the crypt.... for this time I want to give a vote... a 10 and praise... .❤️❤️❤️ (Original) Allora per chi fosse interessato alla visita di questa chiesa dell'anno 1000....ricordatevi che è aperta solo di domenica per il momento.... grazie all'associazione italiana cattolica dei Templari italiani....e cmq informatevi sempre prima di andare.... perché trovarla chiusa vi assicuro che sarebbe un vero peccato...la chiesa è affrescata e merita una visita alla cripta....per questa volta voglio dare un voto...un 10 e lode....❤️❤️❤️

(Translated by Google) The Castle of San Girolamo is an ancient Franciscan convent, founded by the Narnese cardinal Berardo Eroli in 1471, of which today nothing remains other than the church, the base of the bell tower and a few other elements incorporated into the most recent construction dating back to the 19th century. The church - with a single nave - is the oldest element of the complex: it still retains the original coffered portal and above it, the elegant 19th century rose window has replaced the austere 17th century window. From the outside you can see that the apse incorporates one of the four corner towers of the castle, while inside, still in the apse, there is a large canvas portraying San Girolamo, inspired by one of the panels of Ghirlandaio's predella. It should therefore be noted that the famous painting "The Coronation of the Virgin" by Ghirlandaio (dating to around 1486) was originally placed in the apse of this church and was the destination of a heartfelt pilgrimage until its transfer (1871) in rooms of the municipal building of Narni. It is currently preserved in the Eroli Museum. The notable cycle of frescoes "The Stigmata of Saint Francis" by Spagna (the Spaniard Giovanni di Pietro, a pupil of Perugino) detached during the restoration and transferred to canvas, are today preserved in the Palazzo Comunale of Narni. The crenellated towers of the castle of San Girolamo and the massive bell tower of its church stand out powerfully over the rural landscape of the Terni basin, clearly signaling the historical pre-existence... now - unfortunately - debased by a serious state of abandonment and decontextualised by its neighbor of the same name sports facility. [02-01-21] (Original) Il Castello di San Girolamo è un'antico convento francescano, fondato dal cardinale narnese Berardo Eroli nel 1471, di cui oggi non rimane altro che la chiesa, la base del campanile e pochi altri elementi incorporati nella più recente costruzione risalente al XIX secolo. La chiesa - a navata unica - è l'elemento più antico del complesso: conserva ancora l'originale portale a cassettoni e sopra di esso, l'elegante rosone dell'800 ha sostituito l'austero finestrone seicentesco. Dall'esterno si nota che l'abside ingloba uno dei quattro torrioni d'angolo del castello, mentre all'interno, sempre nell'abside si trova una grande tela che ritrae San Girolamo, ispirata ad uno dei pannelli della predella del Ghirlandaio. Va segnalato quindi che, il celebre dipinto “L'Incoronazione della Vergine” del Ghirlandaio (databile al 1486 circa) era, originariamente, collocato proprio nell'abside di questa chiesa e fu meta di un sentito pellegrinaggio fino al suo trasferimento (1871) nei locali del Palazzo comunale di Narni. Attualmente è conservata nel Museo Eroli. Il notevole ciclo di affreschi “Le stimmate di San Francesco” opera dello Spagna (lo spagnolo Giovanni di Pietro, allievo del Perugino) staccati al momento dei restauri e riportati su tela, sono oggi conservati nel Palazzo Comunale di Narni. Le torri merlate del castello di San Girolamo e il massiccio campanile della sua chiesa svettano potenti sul paesaggio rurale della conca ternana, segnalando con chiarezza la storica preesistenza... ormai - purtroppo - svilita da un grave stato di abbandono e decontestualizzata dal vicino-omonimo impianto sportivo.

(Translated by Google) Another piece of Narnese history that has passed through the centuries intact, when you travel along the road that leads to Narni it is impossible not to catch your eye, originally (cit wik.) in 1300 it was a convent of Benedictine nuns and then passed into 1400, first to the Capococcia family who transformed it into a residence, then to Count Eroli who furnished it sumptuously and donated it to the Friars Minor who kept it for four centuries. The subversive laws between 1850 and 1900 made him return to the municipality, then to Count Valbranca and to the Bourbons. From the 1920s to the 1970s it was the seat of an order of missionary friars and among the young people trained there was also the singer-songwriter Rino Gaetano (Original) Un'altro pezzo di storia narnese che ha attraversato intatto i secoli, quando si percorre la strada che porta a Narni è impossibile che non ci cada lo sguardo, originariamente (cit wik.)nel 1300 era un convento di monache benedettine per poi passare nel 1400, prima alla famiglia Capococcia che lo trasformò in residenza poi al conte Eroli che lo arredo' sontuosamente e lo dono' hai frati minori che lo tennero quattro secoli. Le leggi eversive tra 1850 e il 1900 lo fecero tornare al municipio poi al conte Valbranca è ai Borbone. Dagli anni 20 ai 70 fu la sede di un ordine di frati missionari e tra i giovani formati vi fu anche il cantautore Rino Gaetano
