The city of Viterbo<\/strong> is a beautiful destination of Lazio, especially for its religious heritage and its medieval quarter.
Its province, which also extends around Lake Bolsena<\/strong>, is particularly rich in Etruscan sites, but also in villages of character such as Civit\u00e0<\/strong> and Sutri<\/strong>, or small medieval towns such as Orte<\/strong>, Tuscania<\/strong> or Tarquinia<\/strong>. It also includes much of the historic Tuscia<\/strong> region, an Etruscan territory characterized by beautiful countryside, wooded hills and ochre tuff outcrops. It retains its own identity and character, which indigenous people pride themselves on.
Etruscan archaeological sites<\/strong> are numerous and fascinating, with necropolis dug into the tuff cliffs. It was also in the sixteenth century the territory of the Farnese family<\/strong>, who built palaces and castles everywhere, which distinguishes the Villa Farnese<\/strong> of Caprarola.<\/p>\n\n\n
