Bagnoregio
▪ Romanesque Arch At the entrance to Civita, this arch was cut by the Etruscans 2,500 years ago.
▪ Renaissance Palace ruins All that remains of an old palace is the facade, the rest collapsed into the canyon from erosion of the hill Civita sits on.
▪ Church On the piazza, this church is on the site of an Etruscan temple, and after that a Roman temple. It has a fine campanile (bell tower), altar, and crucifix.
▪ Maria's Garden Follow the main road to the far side of town to see a lovely garden with knockout canyon views. If the garden is open, Maria will greet you in a small piazza and urge you to see it. She shows the garden to visitors for pocket change; give her a euro or two.
▪ Etruscan Caves A series of caves at the east end of town, one of which was made into a chapel, called the Chapel of the Incarcerated.
