From Civitavecchia: the Dying City and Monster Park Tour in Lake Bracciano

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.
