ORSINI CASTLE
It is the most representative building of the village.Of parallelepiped form, it is made up of the palace itself, built during the pontificate of Niccolò III Orsini, a more ancient rectangular tower and some smaller buidings which connect the two main parts; the entire castle is rounded by an embattled barbican.
CHIGI-ALBANI PALACE
The Palace was projected and partially built in the pariod the feud belonged to the Madruzzo family. Cardinal Cristoforo Madruzzo set out the works for the fountain, the sculpture of which were sculptured on the pre existant stone and built the first store of the palace. Works started in 1561, but his death (1578) didn't let Madruzzo complete the project.
PAPACQUA FOUNTAIN
The Papacqua fountain, of undoubted artistic value, is fed by spring water and it is articulated in various groups, in single figures and decorations. The main group, wide and complicated, is made up of figures of animals, satyrs, kids and the God Pan, overhanged by a huge woman with feet of goat. Even more evocative is a group of clear Biblical inspiration which shows Moses who makes water spring out of stone, rounde by the Hebrews. Of great value are the statues representing the four seasons and the gushing masks on one side of the Palace-square.
CHURCH "S. NICOLA DI BARI" (THE CATHEDRAL)
The building is on the main square, the arae was previously occupied by two little churches dedicated to Our Lady Of The Annunciation and S. Eutizio; the construction, started in 1791, was ultimated in 1794.
The style is classically neo-classical, it was projected by Giulio Camporese. The architctonical line has two orders: Doric the below one and Ionic the upper, divided by a cornice; in the middle of the front a big window over which there is a huge tympanum and on the sides two bell-towers. Inside, the church has the shape of Greek cross; in the middle of the cross vault, a wide dome rises. It is decorated with putty ceiling roses and overhanged by a lantern. The vaults, also decorated with ceiling roses, rest on a wide cornice. The presbytery is one step raised and delimited by a baluster.
S.EUTIZIO CHURCH
Built around 1718- 1719. The front, a walling of single order, has the architectural part (base, pilasters, cornice, tympanum, door, window) made of peperino; in the middle of it the pre-eminent window is halved by a pilastered banister and the Albani coat of arms. The inside is single naved but there are three altars on each side. The high altar, a silve bust of S. Eutizio, an XVIIIth century picture of Our Lady ( ascribed to Sebastiano Conca), a marmoreal oil-storer (ascribed to Andrea Bregno and used as baptismal font) and a big Baroque wooden crucifix, are very remarkable.
S.GEORGE'S CHURCH
It is a little Romanic church of the XIth century consecrated to S. George. The temple, all in peperino, has a little semi-circular apse, it is enriched by variuos ornaments and sculptures and by a squared bell-tower on the left side. The church has a bell-shaped; the tympanum has a mullioned window with two lights and a column surmounted by a tuscanian capitol. On the sides of the window, there are two angels and evangelical symbols. Lower, some peperino slabs delimit the tympanum. The door is rounded by basso-rilievos of stylized chestnut-tree branches; on the right of the door thre is a sculpture of Christ and on the left one of S. Peter. At half-height there are five horizontal slabs, maybe more ancient than the other basso-rilievos.
MOST HOLY TRINITY CHURCH (Chiesa della SS. Trinità)
The building goes back to the half of the XVIII century. The interior is very harmonious; its altars, decorated with rare polychrome marbles, are very valuable, as the XIVth century picture of "Madonna con Bambino" and frascos of the vault. The latter is a work by the famous painter Taddeo Kuntze.
MERCY'S CHURCH (Chiesa della Misericordia)
It is surely the most ancient of Soriano's churches, one of the first built during the Middle Ages. Made by a single nave, it has passed through numerous alterations, in the Renaissance. Inside it is possible to admire a wonderful wooden crucifix of the XVIIIth century.
S. ANTONIO CHURCH
The little church, situated at the street S. Maria street, goes back to the half of XVII century.
The building is made by single nave with three Baroque altars.
The small bell-tower set to the church, was completed, originally, from a cuspide, fall by now from many years
OUR LADY OF THE HILLOCK (Madonna del Poggio)
The works started in 1609, together with the contiguous convent, but it was extended in 1690. It has belonged first to the Carmelites then to the Franciscan, the building shows its front of local peperino. Inside there is a big Baroque altar and a choir of valuable walnut wood; modest is the convent with a little cloister with frescos.
INNER FOUNTAIN (Fontana di Dentro)
Monument built in the XVth century, during the pontificate of Niccolò V, to avoid the people uneasy water furnishings. Both the name of " inner" and "old" fountain, let us think that in the past there had been another one nearby.
This is testified by ancient maps, on which there are two simbols of fountains in the two little squares next to the clock tower. The monument was shifted in the actual seat in 1837.
PORTA ROMANA
South entrance of the village, it was built by prince Carlo Albani in the XVIIIth century, as testified in a peperino tablet on the monument itself. It fixed the limit of the built up area. The gate's outer part has a curvilinear tympanum, in the middle of which there is the Albani coat of arms, made by three mounts superimposed oneupon the other and an eight points star. The inner part is made up of two fluted pilaster strips which substain another curvilinear tympanum in a second triangular tympanum.
