It is a large boulder of shaped and carved peperino stone, located in a forest between Bomarzo and Chia; It was rediscovered in 2001 by the Archeotuscia association and the archaeological company Pro-Ferento. The structure has 26 steps carved into the volcanic rock, with a height of 8 meters in the upstream part and 16 meters in the downstream part. It is believed to have been an Etruscan rock altar, probably dating back to the 6th-7th century BC, although some hypotheses suggest even older origins.

The Martelluzzo waterfalls are a small but picturesque waterfall. The ruins of a mill next to the waterfalls make the landscape even more beautiful. The water is less clean than other waterfalls in Tuscia, but it is still worth it because of the beautiful surroundings and the lush vegetation. The waterfalls flow into the Fosso Martelluzzo. Water is an omnipresent element on the route to the Martelluzzo waterfalls. In front of the ruined medieval fortress you have a view of the Vezza river valley. Then you reach the Fosso del Martelluzzo with its beautiful waterfall.
