Orte, a small municipality of the province of Viterbo, is idyllically set just in the heart of the valley of the river Tiber, and extends north of Rome. Together with the nearby hamlet of Orte Scalo, it is an important railway station and motorway connection, since it is located at the junction of the two important arterial routes of Terni - Viterbo Clearway and Autostrada del Sole.

The local guest houses welcome tourists with the utmost courtesy and kindness, and give them the possibility to take advantage of excellent services and facilities. Orte's farm houses boast excellent cuisine, well-kept spaces and intimate atmosphere, while the city's residences gather spacious and well-kept vacation homes and flats.

Orte's old town rises on the top of the local hill, and still retains most of its original medieval aspect. Walking down the narrow streets of the city centre, tourists will have the opportunity to admire precious artworks and outstanding cultural sites. The city's most representative monument is the XII-century Romanesque church of St. Silvestro, that is flanked by a wonderful leaning bell tower. Its interior hosts the Diocesan Museum of Sacred Art, that contains an outstanding collection of artworks dating back to the period comprised between the Middle Ages and the Seventeenth century. Other monuments worthy of mention are the Municipal Palace and the Cathedral of Assunta.
Orte's territory is crossed by important springs of thermal water, such as Fontana Antica, Acqua del Galletto, Fonte Zelli, Acqua della Breccia and many more. The city is also home to a renowned spa establishment, that attracts large numbers of visitors who are interested in undergoing special therapies and treatments.
Orte is a city of ancient traditions. One of these is the Procession of Dead Christ, the oldest religious procession in Italy that has been held here every year on Good Friday since 1200. Orte is also situated a short distance from further important tourist centres, such as the mysterious Park of Bomarzo's Monsters, a sixteenth-century garden that is embellished by plenty of evocative and slightly threatening sculptures.
