Torri in Sabina

Italy

Torri in Sabina is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Rieti in the Italian region Latium, located about 50km north of Rome and about 20km southwest of Rieti. Located on a ridge of the Monti Sabini, it is part of the Sabina traditional region. Sights include the church of Santa Maria della Lode a Vescovìo, built in the 9th century and modified in the 12th century to the current Romanesque appearance. The interior has a single nave and houses a 13th-14th century fresco of the Universal Judgement and scenes from the Old and New Testament. The bell tower dates from the 10th-11th century, and was built using remains from the ancient Roman town of Forum Novum.
