The church of San Nicola is located in Capalbio, in the province of Grosseto, in the small square in front of the Aldobrandesca fortress, in the historic center of the village.

The central square: a real gem

Vulci is an ancient Etruscan city 8 km from the Tyrrhenian Sea. Vulci was one of the Etruscan Twelve Cities. In history the city is mentioned only once on the occasion of a 280 BC. Mentioned of the triumph celebrated by the Romans over Vulci in the 4th century BC, when it was conquered by an army led by Tiberius Coruncanius. In 273, the Romans also made Cosa, which was part of Vulci as a port (today the ruins of Ansedonia), a colony. (Source: Wikipedia) The first parts of this ancient city were discovered in the 1950s. In 1970 another house was being built (party house?). The excavations are still ongoing. A visit to the archaeological park costs €10. There are signs for a long loop and a short loop. The long one supposedly lasts 3 hours, the short one 2 hours. We walked the long way (5km). It is advisable to follow the recommended walking direction, as most of the excavations can be seen at the beginning. You can then still decide whether to go the full round or not. It also makes sense not to go when it's too hot, as there is almost no shade.
