Torre Cajetani. The Source of the Fontanelle

At the foot of the hill on which Torre Cajetani rises, in a flat area, there is a source of mineral water that has the same characteristics as the water of Fiuggi.

The waters of this source come from 15 springs, which become 5 streams, flowing into two ponds.

These waters have become famous in history because they were being used by Pope Boniface VIII, who suffered from the kidney stones and was treated in this way.
