Viterbo, the city of the Popes, is a place where the testimonies of the Etruscan civilization mix with the medieval architecture and the beneficial waters of its baths. From the sumptuous palaces of Piazza del Plebiscito to the authentic medieval atmosphere of the San Pellegrino district, passing by the Palazzo Papale and that of the Priori, the Romanesque Cathedral of San Lorenzo, the Palazzo dei Governatori and that of the Podestà, Viterbo offers so many different attractions that a single visit can only begin to unveil its rich history and culture.

To complete the picture of Tuscia Viterbese is the vegetation that dominates everywhere, framing beech the highest peaks, woods of oaks and chestnut trees, and hazelnut crops.
