    The original Etruscan name of the city of Norchia is unknown, but it probably resembled "Orcla", as attested by early medieval forms.

    The settlement occupied a narrow plateau at the intersection of the Pile and Acqualta ditches, with the Biedano stream. The only access route was the Via Clodia, which crossed the hill and overcame the Biedano via a three-arched bridge, now in ruins.

    To go back towards Tuscania, the Via Clodia was cut into the tuffaceous walls in an area called Cava Buia. This segment of the road, dating back to Roman times, is still today one of the most fascinating and uncontaminated landscapes of the hinterland of southern Etruria.
