Vulci Archaeological Nature Park – Lazio: Etruscans, canyons and wild nature in the Lazio Maremma. The Vulci Park, located in the heart of the Viterbo Maremma between Canino and Montalto di Castro, is an extraordinary area that combines archaeological heritage and natural landscape. An ancient Etruscan-Roman city, Vulci is today a place where history emerges among fields, gorges and woods, along the wild course of the Fiora river. 🏛️ Etruscan traces and lost cities: Ancient Vulci was one of the most important Etruscan centers of southern Etruria. Today, the park houses monumental remains of temples, patrician houses, the Roman forum and aristocratic necropolises such as that of the "François". An open-air archaeological landscape, where history coexists with nature. 👉 Tip: Visit the Castello dell'Abbadia, now home to the Etruscan museum, and cross the Devil's Bridge: the view of the Fiora canyon is spectacular. 🌿 Canyons, waterfalls and paths in the green: The park extends along the Fiora River, among tuff canyons, natural waterfalls, gorges and meadows dotted with oaks. The nature trails are suitable for everyone: walks through nature and history, on foot or by bike, along paths that run along cliffs, streams and woods. 👉 Tip: Follow the path that leads to the Pelicone Waterfall: an unspoiled corner where you can also swim on the hottest days. 🦉 Wildlife and biodiversity: The area is a refuge for numerous animal species: among the gorges and woods you can spot peregrine falcons, porcupines, foxes, wild boars and small birds of prey. The vegetation alternates Mediterranean scrub, pastures and centuries-old woods, creating a rich and varied ecosystem. 👉 Tip: Bring binoculars and follow the paths in the late afternoon: the silence and grazing light increase the chances of sightings. 🚶 ♀️ Nature, silence and archaeology on the way: The park's trails are well marked and designed for a slow-paced experience. Some itineraries develop in a ring and allow you to cross very different environments in a few hours: river areas, tuffaceous plateaus and archaeological remains surrounded by greenery. 👉 Tip: Take part in a guided tour with archaeologists and naturalists: the narration of the landscape enriches the experience of every step. 📍 Immersive experience between history and landscape: Vulci is not just an archaeological site, but a place to be crossed slowly, where every element – rock, tree, ruin – tells a thousand-year story. Its isolated position, the presence of the river and the silence that surrounds the area make the visit unique and suggestive. 👉 Tip: End the day with a lunch in the farmhouse inside the park: Maremma cuisine and open views of the tuffaceous hills. Vulci is a bridge between eras and environments: a forgotten city, reborn in the silence of nature, where every step brings to light buried stories and landscapes that have remained intact over time.
