Province of Viterbo Essentials
The Province of Viterbo, known as Tuscia, preserves a dense concentration of Etruscan and Renaissance history. This collection features the UNESCO-listed painted tombs of Tarquinia and the Mannerist sculptures of the Sacro Bosco in Bomarzo. Architectural highlights include the pentagonal Villa Farnese and the Romanesque churches of Tuscania. The landscape is defined by the volcanic craters of Lakes Bolsena and Vico, while the 'dying city' of Civita di Bagnoregio offers a unique look at medieval urbanism atop eroding volcanic tuff.
