Civita di Bagnoregio is one of the most beautiful villages in Lazio, a place with incomparable views and atmosphere. It rises in the wide Valley of the Calanchi, extraordinarily preserved in its medieval structures. In ancient times this center formed a single town together with Bagnoregio and Mercatello, before the high seismicity of the area came to completely isolate the hill, now accessible only through a pedestrian bridge.
Inhabited by men already in prehistoric times, the area of Civita had an important development in the Etruscan period and then in Roman times, a historical period that has left numerous testimonies in the territory.
