Main sights

  • Palazzo Altieri di Oriolo, enlarged in 1674 during the papacy of Clement X, a member of the Altieri family. It has frescoes with stories of the Old Testament and landscapes of Altieri's former fiefs.
  • Fontana delle Picche, fountain designed by Jacopo Barozzi da Vignola.
  • Olmate, a complex of tree-sided alleys which connects Oriolo to Montevirginio, a frazione of Canale Monterano.
  • Parco della Mola, located in the middle of a wonderful national park just a few km away from the main village. La Mola offers perfect hiking trails, a natural thermal water bath and a small but suggestive lake with a waterfall.
