Rieti
Thanks to its central location, Rieti is sometimes referred to as Italy’s belly-button. The city’s historic center is sandwiched between 13th-century walls and the Velino river.
Accumoli
Accumoli is a small town of about 700 inhabitants in the northernmost part of the province. Despite being so small, the municipality borders three other regions, namely Abruzzo, Marche and Umbria. The historic centre of the hilltop town was badly damaged during the 2016 earthquakes.
