Civita di Bagnoregio (12Km / 19miles).
Typical medieval village, located on a tufaceous
rock under a continuous erosion...

It is accessible only through a pedestrian bridge
and currently only few families live there.
Orvieto (20km / 12,5miles).
The city of Orvieto exists in symbiosis with the tuff cliff on which it
stands, an extraordinary example of the integration of nature by the
work of man. To be visited: well of San Patrizio,Palazzo del Capitano

Viterbo(30Km / 18miles).
The province of Viterbo, commonly called Tuscia named
after the Etruscan populations that once lived in the
northern part of Lazio, it is an area full of history
and art. Its origins date back to an Etruscan settlement
called Surrena, which began to develop in the early
called middle Ages. Viterbo became important during that period when it was a place of refuge for
many Popes, the Roman Catholic Church and the Emperor, Viterbo became a free city and
it grew. Today Viterbo preserves a distinctive medieval urban and architectural plan,
which you can still enjoy in one of the most suggestive medieval settings: San Pellegrino.
Roma (100Km / 65miles).
The "Eternal City". It is virtually impossible
to suggest a single tourist path as the tourism

archaeological artifacts, plentiful museums
and architectural beauty, the visitor will find out him/herself where to go!
Siena (110Km / 70miles).

that take place on 2nd July and 16th August, it is also
home to one of the oldest Universities in Europe, which

the academic year. In addition to the bustling daily life
of the streets and squares of the city, Siena offers many cultural events, concerts, cinema, theatre
and a wide range of sporting activities.
Tarquinia (70Km / 43miles).
A must for architecture lovers. Tarquinia was one of the most powerful
Etruscan cities, not in the least because of its location nearby the sea.
Main sights are the palaces, squares and tombs. The gothic Palazzo
Vitelleschi will cost you nearly half a day when you take your to marvel
at the decorations and hire a guide to see the tombs in the
underground section. The Tomb of the Augurs is probably the best
known Etruscan tomb in Tarquinia. Dating from about 530 B.C., its frescoes depict Etruscan art
and sports in all its facets. The National Museum of Tarquinia (Museo Archeologico Nazionale
di Tarquinia) offers an excellent permanent exhibition on Greek and Etruscan art.
