Top 6 Caves チーヴィタカステラーナでの

Walking along via S. Egidio, you will find the beginning of this short but very suggestive path inside a "via cava" (roads dug through the tuff that connected the bottom of the valley with the territories above and, in other areas, were also used to drain excess water from agricultural land). This via cava is full of caves dug directly into the tuff, probably used as stables or cellars to store wine or food.

The meri are very deep karst cavities. Easy path to follow. Start from the large Sant'Oreste car park, the one below the road. There are three of them, all close together. On the same path, a little further on, there is the church in the cave of Santa Romana, a beautiful place that deserves to be visited.

Very beautiful and evocative

Etruscan necropolis located on the ancient Via Amerina in the municipality of Fabrica di Roma

The Necropolis of Cavo degli Zucchi is the largest existing Faliscan necropolis. It is suggestive to walk among the tombs dug into the walls of the cut that runs along the road.

The Cavoni appear very similar to the gorges and are one of the most important examples of the impressive engineering works of the ancient Falisci civilization. The communication routes of this ancient people were dug by hand in the tuff.

The Forre di Corchiano (vie cave) are works declared a natural monument. They are located in the town of Corchiano (which stands on a tufaceous cliff), the vie cave are a work created by man. It is a vertical cut to create a road that softens the sometimes harsh slopes of nature.
