Tragliatella Campitello – History in a Rural Setting

Tragliatella Campitello is considered an isolated settlement and lies in a predominantly agricultural setting. When choosing a holiday apartment, you can start by planning around your preferred focus: medieval buildings, the Grotten delle Pertucce caves and local traditions offer different reasons to visit than a trip on Lake Bracciano. The information about dates and access will help you decide how to fit these interests into your plans.

Medieval buildings and their names

The medieval Torre del Pascolaro is 15 metres high and is also called Forte di San Giovanni. So, for orientation, two names refer to the same tower; its stated height gives the building a tangible sense of scale. If you are travelling with children, you can use its height and alternative name as starting points when preparing for your trip. The church of S. Maria in Celsano, also known as S. Maria di Galeria, also has medieval origins. Together, the tower and church offer a focus on medieval architectural history.

The Torre del Pascolaro is part of an agricultural property on private land; visitors should plan to view it from a distance. As of 31 August 2026, the area of Galeria Antica was not open to the public. Check current access arrangements before visiting.

Caves, a nativity scene and local traditions

The Etruscans excavated the Grotten delle Pertucce caves in Tragliatella. The site also hosts a live nativity scene: the Pro Loco of Tragliatella stages it at the caves every year on 6 January. If you would like to include this date in your travel plans, check the schedule for the relevant year in advance.

Another culinary event was the Sagra del Pollo ruspante. Its 36th edition took place on 30 and 31 July 2026, with food stalls and shows. While the live nativity scene is an annual tradition held on a fixed date in January, the edition of the Sagra mentioned here is in the past. The two details therefore offer different timing information for planning.

Getting around by bus and boat

Bus line 030 runs from La Storta station (FM3) along Via Braccianese to a terminus on Via di Tragliatella. Check the current timetable before travelling. The stop “Roma | Tragliatella Campitello” is listed for line Aa993a. These two details offer different points of reference for getting around; check which route best fits your travel plans.

Another idea for an excursion is a trip aboard the passenger boat “Sabazia II” on Lake Bracciano. The boat visits the three main towns on the lake on a route lasting about two hours and can carry up to 150 passengers. The approximate duration gives the trip its own time frame. Confirm that the service is currently operating before planning your boat trip.

Plan your stay around your interests

If you are travelling with children, you can introduce them to the different topics while preparing for the trip—from the 15-metre-high tower to the Etruscan history of the caves.
