Very beautiful and worth seeing.

Civita di Bagnoregio is a magical, surreal, fantastic place, located on the top of a tuff hill and reachable only through a narrow pedestrian bridge from which you can enjoy one of the most spectacular views of all of Lazio. Nicknamed the dying city, due to the constant erosion of the tuff rocks on which it is located, this citadel halfway between Orvieto and Lake Bolsena has Etruscan and medieval origins.

Fascinating place, full of history

It appears in front of you after a breathtaking descent (very muddy, due to rain!), nestled in the middle of the woods, clinging to the rock. A gem.

The Pasquarella Hermitage is a small sanctuary dating back to the 11th century. Nearby there are caves frequented by hermits in the early Middle Ages.

The little village of Civita di Bagnoregio is a place from another time. Accessible only by a pedestrian bridge, the place is inhabited by only a few people. Nevertheless, there are shelters in the abandoned city. The once proud city, which lies like a crown on the top of a tuff rock and which mainly attracts with beautiful medieval and partly antique buildings within its historic walls, was already considered a dying village in the 70s and 80s of the last century. At times no more than 5-12 people lived here. Back then, landslides were unsafe and regular house maintenance was too expensive. Civita di Bagnoregio is now considered one of the most beautiful villages in Italy. Since it can only be reached via a pedestrian bridge and has therefore been completely spared from cars to this day, it offers a brief but intensive look right into the heart of Italy's history. In the early evening it gets quiet in the town, which is heavily frequented by tourists during the day. This is the best time to enjoy the historic city.

A pleasant guided tour, along a comfortable path, through which you can get to know the underground of the city of Orvieto.

Small medieval town with Etruscan and Roman remains. It is situated on a high tufa spur and is separated from the newer, younger town of Bagnoregio by a deep gorge. From the east end of this town there are great views of the valley, the gorge, the impressive backdrop of Civita on the towering ridge, and the pedestrian bridge over the gorge, which provides exciting access to the old town through an ancient city gate. Civita di Bagnoregio was one of the "dying cities" due to its exposed location and erosion problems and at times had hardly any residents. A Roman ex-manager and numerous dropouts and nature enthusiasts discovered the place and revived it by buying up and renovating the abandoned building ruins "Today, the place has also become a holiday home for artists. Concerts in the church provide additional impetus. Cafes and restaurants, a small hotel and a souvenir shop have been set up in the renovated buildings. The remaining original inhabitants of the village present their house and garden as well as an underground one Cave dwelling for a voluntary contribution from the tourists.Unfortunately it can get very crowded at times!
