4Civita di Bagnoregio, Lazio

Civita di Bagnoregio is situated high on a tuff hill half-way between Lake Bolsena and Orvieto.  It’s accessible only by walking across a significantly narrow footbridge.  This surreal spot is also known as “città che muore” or “the dying city.”

It earned that nickname because the tuff rocks beneath it are constantly eroding.  Its origins are both Medieval and Etruscan.  This place seems to be suspended in both space and time.  Some travel bloggers believe it to be one of Italy’s most characteristic and beautiful villages.
