Having driven past Ceri for some years, we decided to see what was on top of the hill. Small but with a turbulent history, Ceri played host to a number of warring factions over the years. It literally occupies a rocky summit and only has about 100 residents. Two observations: no place to get a coffee as the restaurants only open later in the day. Also, the ancient narrow streets and small piazza are ruined by parked cars. Unfortunately, the church was closed for renovation at the time of our visit. A pleasant surprise all the same.

A small church so beautiful to take your breath away. A hidden jewel in a small medioeval borgo worth a visit.

Italy is filled with incredible churches. But, I particularly liked this one because it is an ancient local parish church in the hilltop town of Borgo di Ceri. Time seems to have stood still in this place. Sitting inside it's easy to imagine what it was like to attend Mass here 100 years ago, 500 years ago, even 1,000 years ago.

Be sure to visit the ancient, as well as the modern church. It feels a lot more authentic and well patronized.

Ceri is a small town of 80 people on a fortress plateau in the Lazio one hour northwest of Rome. Santuario Madonna stands on the site of Etruscan and Roman structures dating back to 700 B.C. The sanctuary has been an ongoing research, restoration, and preservation project, which includes the discovery of frescoes from the 12th century uncovered in 1980. These antiquities are of museum quality but rather than seeing them in Rome or Madrid, you see them in the setting of the original work. The sanctuary is small and humble with contents of appropriate scale so don't let your expectations run wild. The key here is how the sum of all parts, including Ceri itself, contribute to the whole of a special, rural Italian experience in the Lazio. With two restaurants and a small store, Ceri has provisions to restore your body and offers an experience to refresh your soul. A first-class B & B - Borgo di Ceri - is also available in town. Depending upon your plans, Ceri is a great addition to any tour of Etruscan sites in Cerveteri and Tarquinia. Located at "the end of the road," the area offers limited bus service and no train service. We rented a transfer service out of a Rome and had a smooth ride all the way. You can also drive your own car into town. Parking is limited but available. Santuario Madonna is small enough to enjoy in an hour or two but you may want to tour the fortress town for whatever part of the day you can spare. Ceri will likely be a memorable stop during your visit to the Roman countryside.

Beautiful, exciting. The frescoes by an anonymous author are beautiful. Cosmatesque floor. A pearl. Absolutely worth visiting.
