TEMPLAR KNIGHTS IN
SAN FELICE CIRCEO

(Sec. XIII)

---

The joumey along the pontine coast goes on between mith and realty, history and legend. The window look towords the Circeo Mount: the Templar Knight's Tower in San Felice Circeo and on the background the Sorresca's compound in Sabaudia. A voyage through time eight centuries back… and the Templar Knights with their white cloaks appear on the walls of the ancient city of Circeii.

They are planning the fortified settlement, as they did years before along the river Tago in Portugal, in order to protect and gather the population spread in the surrounding region. At one and the same time, in their estate on the Paola lake, in Sabaudia, they are showing which agriculture, fishing end murturance are profitable in the dump and uncultivated pontini's fields in order to support the military campaign in the Holy Land.

The presence of the fighting monks in these places arouse the fascination, mistery and adventures of their legend. Most of all suggest to re-think the history and culture of the pontine territory within the official history of the chivalrous and holy Order. This has a strong link with the present era, since the bequest of the Templar Knights, extinct many centuries ago, is extremely up-to-date: the willingness to create a universal peace plan.
