The Terni district offers a wide variety of tourist attractions to suit many different interests. The main centre of this territory is the Town of Terni which, despite the destruction undergone during the last World War, has remarkable artistic and monumental evidence which date back from the Romans to the nineteenth century.
The town, which has very ancient origins, is located on the confluence of the Serra river and the Nera river (the old name of the town, INTERAMNA, means a city between two rivers) and it extends over a flat basin, rich in water, surrounded on all sides by the rolling Umbrian hills.
Among the remarkable touristic features of the Terni district we must mention: the Marmore Waterfalls, an impressive Roman hydraulic work , which with its incomparable spectacle has inspired the creative genius of writers and poets. Still in the Valnerina we find small centres like Arrone, Montefranco, Ferentillo (with the San Pietro in Valle Abbey and the Mummy Museum) and Polino. Piediluco lake, a small sheet of water lying in the middle of the Umbrian hills, famous all over the world for the P. D'Aloja Nautical Centre, seat of the national rowing Centre which every year hosts national and international rowing competitions.
Among the historical centres we must mention Narni, interesting for its various monuments; Stroncone, a small, well preserved village which looks out over the Terni valley. Calvi and Otricoli are also interesting, the latter having remarkable archaeological remains of the Roman town. Finally we must mention the mineral water areas with the two pleasant centres of Sangemini and Acquasparta which preserve remarkable evidence of the past. Near Sangemini, along what was once the original Via Flaminia, we find the archaeological complex of Carsulae dating back to Roman times, the most important one in our region.
