Getting to know Maenza
Maenza is a small town in Lazio in a hilly area 358 meters above sea level and only 110 km from Rome, is a village of medieval origins almost intact with narrow streets and alleys that tighten around the fortress, aerial passages case-towers and Loggia Mercanti.
Among the monuments, the Baronial Castle stands out with its four towers located at the top of the village. The castle is an extraordinary recently renovated artistic jewel. In it’s time, it has housed the revered St. Thomas Acquinas (Santo Tommaso D’aquino).
Behind the village, there are wide expanses of chestnut groves and beech groves, which offer a full immersion in nature for trekking and nature walks.
The small distance from the Tyrrhenian Sea (about 15 km from the coastline) causes the hilly climate to mitigate the climate in the warmer seasons.
There are several events that the municipality offers to its inhabitants, but the one to remember is the cherry festival with concerts, exhibitions and much more.
