Civita di Bagnoregio – Magnificent 2,500-Year-Old Etruscan City In The Sky Is Struggling To Survive

Jan Bartek - AncientPages.com - Those who would like to visit Civita di Bagnoregio should be prepared to walk a lot. The only way to access the Italian hill town of Civita di Bagnoregio is on foot via a pedestrian-only bridge. It takes a while to reach the top, and the walk can be tiresome, especially in the summer, but it is worth the effort.

Located about 100 kilometers north of Rome, in the comune of Bagnoregio, this tiny little town is remarkably rich in ancient history.

Civita di Bagnoregio has been built and rebuilt over the centuries. It has been challenging to determine precisely when its buildings were constructed, but scholars say there is clear evidence of Etruscan activity at the site.

It has even been suggested the original site may even be pre-Etruscan.
