Nestled within the Liri river valley, Sora<\/b> was a crossroads for the commercial exchanges of its neighbouring cities, witness of the struggles between pagans and Christians, and the victim of banditry and a terrible earthquake that razed it to the ground. The symbol of its historical and strategic importance is the Avezzano-Roccasecca railway<\/b>, which not only provided for a needed railway line connecting Lazio region and Abruzzo region, but turned it into a thriving and beautiful city.<\/p>\n

The visit of the city starts when crossing the bridge Napoli, which leads to the old town centre full of alleys and old workshops embedded in the urban fabric. In this area, you can find the first great architectural structure: the Abbey of San Domenico<\/b>. Founded on the ruins of the villa of Cicero and at the confluence of the Fibreno river with the Liri river, the abbey was built as a proof of the conversion and devotion of the governor of Sora and Arpino, thus becoming a symbol of the transition from pagan to Christian rites.\nGoing past the old town centre and walking towards the hill known as Colle San Casto, you can stop by the Museum of \u201cMedia Valle del Liri\u201d <\/b>(Middle Liri Valley), which is located in the 14th-century palace known as the former Convent of the Conventual Minors. The museum is organized according to chronological, thematic and topographical criteria with the aim of illustrating the history of the city and its territory. \nAt a short distance, and initially conceived as a building outside the city walls, there is the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta<\/b>, which was later extended with the construction of an Aragonese fortified tower and next to which the Bishop's Palace was built, considered one of the oldest in Italy. \nFrom the Cathedral you can walk to the building dedicated to the patron saint of the city, Santa Restituta<\/b>, on whose facade the \"Privilege of Charles II of Anjou\u201d <\/b>is carved in medieval Latin and on marble slabs, a document proving Sora to be established as a part of the kingdom of Naples and Sicily.<\/p>\n

Slowly walking away from the city centre, outside the walls there is a place set as a destination for silent walks: the Castle San Casto<\/b>, located at the entrance of the valley known as Val Roveto and 500 meters high above Sora. The castle is a monument of considerable cultural and military importance and was erected as a defence post with cyclopean polygonal walls. A \u201cgiant\u201d that can still be visited today and that combines the beautiful landscape with its majestic architectural structure.<\/p>\n

The heritage of the city of Sora, however, does not lie only in its magnificent buildings, the silent flowing of the Liri River and the network of alleys decorating it. Its culture, history and position have led to the development and careful study of its dialect, as well as the creation of a significant literary heritage, which is the symbol of the historical and identity value of the city and a gem of local tradition.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
