Sora from Art to History to Cinema

This itinerary will guide you through the historical, cultural and cinematic beauty of a city that retains an authentic and fascinating identity

Start your visit to Sora at the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, built on the remains of an ancient pagan temple, a symbol of continuity between different eras and cultures. Then walk to the Church of Santa Restituta, located in the main square, the beating heart of the city and a meeting point for citizens and visitors alike.

A few kilometres from the centre, stop off at the Abbey of San Domenico, built in the year 1000 on the remains of Cicero's paternal home. This mystical place, surrounded by nature, is a true jewel of spirituality and history.

Continue your visit with the Museo Civico, where you can discover Volscian origins of Sora and delve into the city's past through historical artifacts and archaeological evidence.

However, it is in Borgo Canceglie that you will find the true soul of Sora: a web of narrow alleys and well-kept houses that tell stories of ancient crafts, local legends and famous people. It was here that the great Vittorio De Sica, winner of three Academy Awards, was born and spent his childhood.
