On the slopes of Mount Tilia, part of the Terminillo mountain range, right in the heart of the Rieti area between Lazio and Abruzzo, lies the medieval village of Leonessa, 120 kilometres from Rome. The village is mainly developed in its historical centre where noble palaces dating back to the period from the 16th to the 18th century are preserved. A visit to the ancient centre of Leonessa provides an insight into an urban fabric characterised by late medieval and Renaissance architecture.
