Civita di Bagnoregio
Situated on the border with Umbria, overlooking the Tiber Valley, Civita di Bagnoregio, also known as "The Dying City," rests on a wedge-shaped tuff hill at 443 meters above sea level, nestled between the deep ravines of the Rio Chiaro and Rio Torbido. Behind the town stretches a vast valley carved by the "calanchi," undulating clay ridges, sometimes incredibly thin, occasionally sharpened by towering cliffs and massive towers, such as the solemn and dolomitic "Montione" and the so-called "Cathedral."
Tuscania
It is one of the most beautiful landscapes of Tuscia (the ancient southern Etruria) that can be enjoyed from the medieval walls of Tuscania, an art city in the province of Viterbo, surrounded by a gentle and unspoiled countryside, much of which is protected as a nature reserve.
Terme di Bagnaccio, Viterbo
The Bagnaccio, which is located within a private property, lies in the open countryside between the Martana road and the Castiglione road.
The five pools of Bagnaccio accommodate numerous bathers throughout the year, as well as people who use the steam for inhalation treatments.
