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 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.

Nice place, definitely interesting to visit the remains of the ancient Ocriculum.

Rocky section. If you also visit the Tagliata delle Rocchette, it is best to do so uphill.

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.

This Archaeological Park with free admission is worth a visit. It is well preserved and is perfect for a lunch break or just for a stroll through the ancient Roman ruins.

The Tagliata delle Rocchette is a path about 70 meters long and 3 meters wide, in some sections the height of the wall is almost 20 meters. It is excavated inside a gigantic rock of peperino which detached in remote times.

Given its shape, it could recall a religious altar, but it is really an ancient and mysterious pyramid discovered only in 1911.
