Today we will venture on foot in the archaeological site of Norchia for an exciting outing to the most spectacular of all of the rock-cut necropolises of Etruria. We will see the spectacular tombe a dado (cube tombs) carved in the volcanic tufa cliffs and the ruins of a church and medieval castle. We will pause for a picnic lunch featuring local food and wine products. In the afternoon our exploration will continue with a visit to some of the thermal springs in the area around Viterbo, which were already frequented and enjoyed by the Etruscans and the Romans. We’ll complete our day’s adventure in the city of Viterbo, the capital of the province, known as the “City of the Popes”. Before returning home, we will visit a favorite cantina of locally produced wine before dining at a local restaurant.

After breakfast, we will leave for Tarquinia, the old Tarchuna, a mighty city founded in a strategic position, at a few kilometers from the Tyrrhenian Sea. Along the road we will see the original site where the ancient city once stood, the rise of the Civita (City), on which are the ruins of the temple of the Ara della Regina (Altar of the Queen). We will visit the famous Necropolis of Monterozzi, an Unesco world heritage site of exceptional archaeological interest. We will then reach the Tyrrhenian Sea, where the ancient harbour of Tarquinia once stood and we will have lunch at a local restaurant. We will continue our journey with a visit to the beautiful archaeological and naturalistic park of Vulci, an ancient Etruscan‐Roman metropolis. Tonight we will end the day with a relaxing dinner at the villa.
