Visit Civita di Bagnoregio, also known as the dying city. Get an entry ticket complete with audio guide and set out to explore this small village only accessible by a narrow bridge linking it to the neighboring village.
Originally founded 2,500 years ago, this small town near Rome stands atop a red tufa cliff surrounded by the Valley of Calanchi. The town’s strategic position is also what lends it the nickname “the dying city” since the town is crumbling as the cliff slowly erodes.
Walk across the narrow bridge, step through the Santa Maria Gate, and discover the unforgettable atmosphere of this medieval village. Listen to an audio guide on your phone and learn the fascinating history of this ancient place.
Once you’re done exploring, stop at one of the local restaurants or bars for some refreshment. Before you leave, pop into one of the artisan shops to take home a souvenir of your experience.
