A full-day tour from Civitavecchia to discover two unique places that will literally leave you speechless. Civita di Bagnoregio, also known as the dying city, an suspended village on foot, is truly spectacular: a long pedestrian bridge leads to what seems like a fairy-tale town. A completely isolated place where time seems to have stopped while the landscape continues to transform, a victim of the constant erosion of the clayey soil caused by weather phenomena. This is why it’s called the dying city as it is destined to slowly and inexorably crumble away. From Civita you will then head to Bomarzo to visit the Sacred Wood. Designed by Prince Vicino Orsini and architect Ligorio starting in the mid-16th century, the park is a unique masterpiece from the Renaissance era and the oldest sculpture park in the modern world. Here where statues that defy proportions and perspective rules are creatively placed, animating the park’s corners and creating a surreal interplay between nature and art.

Civita di Bagnoregio is located in Tuscia on the border between Tuscany and Lazio. Discover and Visit the dying city. It is called the dying city because the land on which it stands is slowly falling away and will inevitably disappear when the final pieces crumble into the spectacular Valle dei Calanchi below. Knowing this and knowing that nothing can be done to prevent it makes your visit all the more special, eternal and timeless. Be one of the last people to visit the village before it ceases to exist. Connected to the rest of the world by a three hundred meter bridge, Civita di Bagnoregio is a charming village which will make you feel you are visiting a world that no longer exists. Made up of old houses, narrow streets and surrounded by beautiful landscapes, walk through this magnificently unique setting. The Romanesque Arch at the entrance to Civita was built by the Etruscans 2,500 years ago and all that remains of the Renaissance Palace is the facade, the rest collapsed into the canyon. Visit the largest Piazza: the site of donkey races on the first Sunday of June and the second Sunday of September. In the evening, the piazza is the place to be, as what’s left of the town socialises there. Visit Maria’s Garden, follow the main road to the far side of town to see a lovely garden with canyon views. After that transfer to Bomarzo
