"the dying city" - medieval ghost town
Civita di Bagnoregio
It's seldom included in most tours  of Italy; but you can see it with us!   That's us in the picture above - way up at the top of the "dying city".  (We had a great lunch there too.)    
Our April 19 and Sept. 10, 2008 Tours
both visit this amazing place...
Civita di Bagnoregio

MORE ABOUT
THE "DYING CITY"
The "dying city" referred to as Civita has only a handful of full time residents.  They are dedicated to trying to save the city. Work is being done to strengthen the remaining buildings so they won't continue to collapse like the rest of the city has for the last few centuries. To reach Civita you will need to walk nearly a kilomer -most of it over a pedestrian bridge make it to the top.  It is worth the climb!  (Those who can't or don't want to walk, will find a restaurant with a magnificent view at the bottom of the bridge.)  We usually include visits to this amazing city when we travel  from Rome to Orvieto.  Once there you'll have time to have a nice lunch and look around the small center.  Our favorite restaurant  up there serves delicious bruschettas. It's a great place to rest and contemplate where you are.  You'll never forget Civita Bagnoregio
