コルキアーノの天然記念物・トップ11

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.

Corchiano is a small town in the province of Viterbo, apparently similar to many others, a little modest... and yet, it has become famous for some events, such as the infiorata, which is held at the end of May and sees the entire town involved in decorating a good part of the streets of the town with flower petals, colored sawdust, coffee grounds and in general any material that can be colored and applied in designs of great beauty. Then, in December, the living nativity scene takes place in a natural setting of great suggestion, finally, the exploration on foot of the ravines should not be overlooked, a true natural monument and archaeological site of great interest... in short, a place that is worth visiting. The difficulty in walking the paths, all equipped, is generally T (tourist) and suitable for all age levels.

What a wonderful place especially if you reach it by bike!

It is impossible not to know the beech forest if you are from the area

The remains of the ancient Roman city, crossed by the Via Flaminia and lapped by a bend of the Tiber, are set in a natural landscape of remarkable beauty, a perfect synthesis of archeology and nature with a centuries-old history.

Very beautiful and evocative

This splendid archaeological park from the Roman era can be visited all year round for free. The park extends for 36 hectares from the nearby bend of the Tiber to under the modern Otricoli. Right on the Tiber river there are still the remains of the used Oil Port active until the 16th century. The remains of what were once thermal baths, amphitheaters and villas are perfectly preserved and extraordinarily integrated into the natural context of the area.
