Discover places to visit and What to see in Marta

We can help you discover what to see in Marta! The interesting historical sites in Marta include the Clock Tower ("Torre dell'Orologio"), a Renaissance palace of the Farnese period and the Roman Sanctuary of the Madonna del Monte, which was renovated at the end of the fifteenth century and is built on top of a hill with stunning views, close to the historical centre. This sacred place is also important because it is the hub of the traditional Barabbata festival. Marta's economy, in the absence of industry, is based primarily on agriculture, fishing and the fish trade.

 

Marta's proximity to the regional capital of Viterbo, as well as Terni and Rome, makes it an ideal destination throughout the year. The marina located on the River Marta hosts many boats and is the starting point for excursions to the islands and water sports.

 

The beach is close to the town and maintained in its natural state, is partly shaded and never overly crowded. It offers a range of leisure activities for swimmers.

 

As for festivals, don't miss the 14th May - the Feast of Our Lady of the Mountain (or "Barabbata") and the Sunday after 14th May - the Feast of the Lattarino Whitefish.
