... and Civita di Bagnoreggio

A lonely Sunday trip with the group called Archeotuscia of Viterbo to Civita di Bagnoreggio. It's, sort of, Viterbo's Grand Canyon:





Not bad if you haven't seen the real thing.



We didn't stop at the village, just took the trail up to the canyon and back.

The group was about 30 people. The place is about 30 km from Viterbo; someone gave me a ride. On the way back, we stopped at a muddy field, which had some buried remnants of walls. Looked to me like an abandoned foundation of a 19th century building. But they said "Roman." The "archeologists" then happily dived into the mud and emerged with a few suspiciously modern-looking clay roof tile fragments. Took me a while to wash my shoes at home. Next Sunday to Sorano...
