Historical note about the site/monument
- Cittaducale is a municipality in the region of Lazio, Italy. It was established on land from the diocese of Rieti by Pope Alexander VI in 1502. It served as a residential bishopric until the late 18th century. Historical points of interest in the municipality include the Baths of Vespasian and the Church of San Vittorino.
