Casperia, a pedestrian, medieval village, still completely intact and contained within the old walls, perched in a panoramic position on a hilltop. It belonged to the Farfa Abbey and in the fifteenth century passed into the possession of the Roman families Savelli and Orsini. In the sixteenth century Casperia returned to the Holy See. On the main square, the church of St. Annunziata was built in 1609 by Girolamo Saraceni. At the top of the village is the old church of St. Giovanni Battista and a tower restored in the seventeenth century. At St. Maria, hamlet of Casperia three km. far, is the church and monastery of St. Maria Legarano, built in 1166 on the ruins of a Roman villa. At Caprignano, other hamlet of Casperia, there are the remains of a medieval castle.
