The Signorino road, of Etruscan origin, is a deep underground passage carved into the tuff that connects the Signorino district (named after a 15th-century family) to Porta Faul. It winds between high tuff walls that reach 12 meters at their highest points. It is also known as Cava S. Antonio (St. Anthony's Cave) after a shrine dedicated to the saint located on one of its walls. Along the road there is a cave called the Devil 's Cave , and some legends tell of strange nocturnal processions of Lucumoni (ancient Etruscan priests). For this reason, especially during the Middle Ages, crosses were carved on the tuff walls to protect travelers from the devil. The shrine dedicated to St. Anthony may have served this purpose.

Okay, the Parco Thermale di Bagnaccio is once again open daily. In winter from 8am to 8pm, in Summer open until 23pm or even midnight! Entry is 5€ for pilgrims with credential (or if you are lucky like me, also without). Else it is 10€. There are three simple changing rooms, some toilets, a snack automat and coffee maschine and, sometimes just outside, a mobile little restaurant selling hot meals.

The Tagliata Etrusca is one of the most fascinating passages connecting the historic center of Viterbo with the surrounding countryside. It is an ancient road carved directly into the tuff, a typical Etruscan work, striking for its imposing vertical walls and the evocative atmosphere that permeates the landscape. Leaving from Porta Faul, the Tagliata leads out of the city along a route that was once a transit route and is now frequented by wayfarers, pilgrims, and the curious. It is a place that combines nature, history, and archaeology, offering visitors a journey back in time to the most ancient roots of Tuscia.

Bridge over the Mignone where the Old Civitavecchia-Orte railway passes. Splendid panoramic point

Unfortunately closed. The question of whether I should go for a thermal bath in the hot summer mornings on my Chemnitz - Rome - Chemnitz bike tour answered itself. 🙄

Good morning, thank you for what you wrote. Where can I find material on the 1916 restoration?

Tourist information told us it was closed since oct 2022

Too bad they are closed in February
