Worth the detour from Viterbo

8 notable places within an hour's drive.

landmark

Sacro Bosco di Bomarzo

The 16th-century 'Park of Monsters', a wooded valley of colossal mannerist grotesques: an ogre's mouth you walk into, a leaning house, war elephants carved from living bedrock. Ignored for centuries, adored by Salvador Dalí.

Civita di Bagnoregio

A dying hilltop village in Lazio perched on an eroding volcanic plateau accessible only by a narrow pedestrian bridge.

Orvieto

A dramatic Umbrian hill town perched atop volcanic tufa cliffs, crowned by one of Italy's most ornate Gothic cathedrals.

33 km · about 40 min drive

racetrack

Vallelunga Circuit

Rome's historic racetrack, opened in 1951 north of the city and named after F1 pioneer Piero Taruffi. A staple of Italian GT racing with regular open track days for road drivers.

36 km · about 40 min drive

landmark

Pitigliano

Tufa-rock town rising sheer from the Maremma canyons, riddled with Etruscan cave cellars and the sunken 'vie cave' walkways carved into the cliffs. Known as 'Little Jerusalem' for its historic Jewish quarter and synagogue.

landmark

La Scarzuola

Surrealist 'ideal city' of stacked theatres, towers and esoteric symbols built by Milanese architect Tomaso Buzzi from 1958 inside a Franciscan convent's grounds. Deep in rural Umbria and visitable by reservation only, it feels like walking into a dream.
