Rocca MONALDESCHI DELLA CERVARA

Rocca Monaldeschi della Cervara

The undisputed symbol of Bolsena is its Rocca Monaldeschi della Cervara, an elegant historic building built between the 13th and 14th centuries which bears the name of the noble family that dominated this village for years. The fortress dominates the city of Bolsena from above and stands like a lighthouse overlooking the whole lake. Today this historic building is the seat of the Territorial Museum of Lake Bolsena which allows, through a permanent exhibition, to retrace the historical stages of this city. Three floors of the structure in which important findings emerged from the shores of the lake are preserved, an extremely precise and accurate educational and artistic path. We travel from the prehistoric Bolsena, passing through the medieval one up to the present city, all enclosed by the majesty of the fortress that makes everything even more interesting. Furthermore, from the terraces of the Monaldeschi della Cervara fortress, you can enjoy a magnificent view that sweeps from the center of the lake and the excavations of the Etruscan-Roman city of Volsinii located a short distance from the structure.
