Day 44: Montefiascone- rest day

I don't have a lot to report today. I took my time, ambled around, had a long leisurely lunch, and took everything as easily as I could. Montefiascone is charming and lovely to walk around (and a little hilly). There were some markets in the morning, but I wasn't feeling it. I visited the papal fort, Rocca dei Pai, which had been used by about 36 popes as a Rector Seat from the 1200s to the 1600s. The fort had a really nice structured garden out the front, with some lovely sculptures, magnificent views of the surrounding area, and an architectural museum inside, so I visited that also. Oh, and of course, after I opened my big mouth at Bolsena, the cathedral here is dedicated to a woman (Saint Marguerite). A male does get a mention, but that is all - he doesn't share dual billing.En savoir plus
