Tourism in Citerna Italy

Citerna, situated on a hill above the Cerfone and Sovara streams, is dedicated to agriculture even if in the last few years it has become a popular holiday resort.

In past centuries, the fate of the former "Civitas Sobariae" followed that of larger neighbouring towns from the times of the barbarian invasions, rule under the Papal State, and occupation by the Germans who nearly destroyed its strong-hold during the Second World War. In fact, from the ruins of the strong-hold you'll enjoy the sight of a vast panorama; a horizon ranging from Verna to Mount Subasio and from Catria to the Gubbio mountains. Among the buildings which merit a visit are Vitelli Palace (15th century), where Alessandro Vitelli died, and for the richness of their furnishings, the churches of St.Francis and St.Michael Archangel.
