Towards the Ninfa Garden
Having passed Cori, one can continue the journey on the Francigena Route towards Ninfa, the once-existing Medieval village that hosts nowadays the Garden of Ninfa, a unique example of nature and history. Following the route at the foot of the Lepini Mountains, the landscape changes – the tuff stones turn into rocks and clay, the height grows, and the countryside becomes a mosaic held together by the work of the farmers.
Finally, the journey crosses Ninfa estate, a tranquil terrace covered by vineyards with a breathtaking panorama capturing the Circeo mountain on the sea where, according to the Odyssey tales, Ulysses and the sorceress Circe met each other.
The sun never leaves the marvellous mountain coast of Ninfa estate, and the only existing shade is the one of the monumental polygonal walls at the centre of Ninfa estate.
