Abbey of Farfa

Farfa
Farfa, Lazio, Italy
Recenter Map To This Location

Not to be missed is the Abbey of Farfa, one of the most famous European religious buildings of the Middle Ages, found in the town of the same name. Charlemagne was its protector, and at the height of his empire, a vast part of central Italy was owned by the abbey. A visit is not complete without including the magnificent, recently refurbished, library that contains more than 60,000 volumes and original manuscripts, including one of the first books ever printed. The girls in the herb store will arrange your visit. Do not miss a well preserved Roman sarcophagus that was found on the premises, attesting to the fact that the 6th-century abbey was built on the site of a Roman villa: tel: 0765 277315 (not much English spoken).
