The current Palazzo del Comune of Tuscania overlooks Piazza Basile, between the Church of San Lorenzo and the former Church of Santa Croce, currently home to the Historical Archives and the Municipal Library. Previously, the administrators of the municipality resided in the ancient Palazzo del Rivellino, on the hill of the same name; the structure was so called because it was similar to a fortress. Subsequently, the podestà was transferred first to the palace that today is home to the Teatro Comunale, and then to the current one. The latter is accessed via a beautiful external staircase, which features a bronze plaque in memory of the restoration, in 1912, of the ancient name of the city that had been changed by Boniface VIII to Toscanella.

Located in the heart of the village of Marta, on the southern shore of Lake Bolsena, the Clock Tower is one of the main historical and tourist attractions of the area. This medieval tower, which stands majestically in the historic center, is not only a symbol of the city, but also a witness to centuries of history, art and local traditions. The Clock Tower stands imposingly at 21 meters high. Its structure is characterized by a truncated pyramid base with a square plan and an octagonal body that culminates with a small octagonal tower about 2.5 meters high, where the clock bells are located. This clock, installed in 1575 during the Farnese domination, is one of the distinctive elements of the tower. Originally, the tower was part of the Rocca, a medieval fortification that has seen numerous restorations and alterations due to the turbulent historical events of the village. The tower has survived various modifications and reconstructions, and today represents one of the most fascinating testimonies of Marta's past. (c) https://www.visittuscia.eu/torre-orologio-marta/

Gravel suitable for road bikes. It's worth it, because the road then becomes a good-quality paved section along the lake. Most paved secondary roads in Italy are in significantly worse condition than this gravel.

The Rocca Farnese, located in Tuscia, is an imposing 16th-century structure built around a medieval tower, which dominates the historic center of Ischia di Castro. The palace, unfinished for centuries, was recently restored by the new owner, bringing to light ancient forms and a walled Renaissance loggia. Originally built in the 13th century as a fortress, it was transformed into a palace in the 16th century, perhaps designed by Antonio da Sangallo the Younger. It was the residence of the Farnese, lords of the Duchy of Castro, and, after the end of the duchy in 1649, it passed to the Apostolic Chamber and various families.

Unfortunately I have to disagree. It will definitely be nicer. The gravel path, which is suitable for racing bikes but is borderline, is followed by asphalt paths directly by the lake, partly without any development until about 7 km before Bolsena. Everything can be ridden on a racing bike, although not too fast. The lap around the lake is not a racing tour if you want to get off the roads.

That's exactly how it is! Wonderfully secluded beach, clear water, you just have to swim! Further towards Bolsena there is more infrastructure (restaurants, boat rentals), but it doesn't get any nicer.

Beautiful square in the historic center of Tuscania.

Definitely worth a detour. You should take a few hours to a whole day because there is a lot to discover and visit.
