From Civitavecchia: the Dying City and Monster Park Tour

This seven-and-a-half-hour excursion from Civitavecchia takes you to two remarkable sites that reveal Italy's stranger side. Begin at Civita di Bagnoregio, a village perched atop eroding clay cliffs and linked to the mainland by a single footbridge—a landscape in slow collapse where weathering has carved away the earth for centuries. Then venture to Bomarzo's Sacred Wood, a Renaissance sculpture garden where outsized stone figures occupy impossible angles, defying perspective and logic. Created in the 1500s by Prince Vicino Orsini, it remains one of Europe's most unsettling art installations, blending mannerist ambition with dreamlike surrealism.
