Italy stands as a quintessential European travel destination, drawing visitors from all over the world. Besides the famous landmarks, the country also harbors numerous hidden gems for those seeking less crowded locales. Calcata is one of those destinations that often escapes the radar of Korean tourists exploring Italy. It is located about 29.2 miles north of Rome, easily accessible within an hour’s drive from Rome.

Although it’s not a mainstream travel destination in Italy, it attracts travelers with its breathtaking scenery. Located in Valle del Treja, a regional natural park, this location is one of the most historic places in Italy. Naturally fortified along the Francigena, it was initially constructed as a fortress to ward off potential invasions.
