Live view guide

Rieti and its historic centre live

The webcam follows Rieti’s historic centre, in a city crossed by the Velino and surrounded by the mountains of the central Apennines.

The live feed shows urban movement, light and sky conditions. Rieti’s basin setting makes haze, cloud and seasonal changes particularly easy to notice.

The historic core preserves medieval buildings and Roman traces connected with the city’s ancient layout.

History and local identity

Rieti had Sabine origins and became a Roman centre on important routes through central Italy. In the Middle Ages the city developed around its cathedral, walls and public buildings.

Nearby

Monte Terminillo dominates the area; the Holy Valley contains the Franciscan sanctuaries of Greccio, Fonte Colombo, Poggio Bustone and La Foresta.
