A mysterious spot

The downhill rise

Why locals love it

Just a few kilometres from Rome in the Castelli Romani area, there’s a strange slope where gravity doesn’t seem to work. Everything you put on the ground rises instead of rolling down!

Why you should visit it

If you want to add some mystery to your trip, you simply must come here – you won't believe your eyes! There are just a few examples of this phenomenon in the world. It’s also a good excuse to visit the ancient region of Castelli Romani. If you’re looking for somewhere to have a meal, head to a “fraschetta” (traditional tavern).

Special tip

Don’t forget to bring something to roll like a can or a bottle.
