| Description |
This is VERY off the beaten path, but one of the most amazing things you will see. It is a completely abandoned Etruscan/Roman settlement with cave dwellings, an old temple, and a necropolis dug out of volcanic rock The structures here date from prehistoric times, to medieval times.
As yoou walk the trails through this amazing site, you will find youself awestruck as the trails wind through the ruins of a medieval fortress, then alongside cliffs where you can walk down carved steps into caves that were inhabited thousands of years ago by the mysterious Etruscans, then through the ruins of an ancient church.
As you navigate the trails of Corviano, at one point you simply stumble upon an ancient necropolis that is simply unmistakeable. You can see the forms of the bodies carved out of the volcanic rock while you simply feel life as it was in another time.
Corviano is a once in a lifetime experience that should not be missed.
