Welcome to "IL CASTELLACCIO"

 

A timeless place, where the charm of the past meets the elegance of the present..

 

During his journey through Italy, Goethe, passing through Civita Castellana, now close to Rome, noted::

 "...reliefs and cliffs in wonderfully sculptural forms, sheer rocks, and a landscape of discontinuities and fractures..."

Reading the impressions of this exceptional traveler, the mind inevitably turns to the varied and evocative landscape that frames the town: enormous masses of reddish tuff, valleys carved into the rock, cliffs overlooking rapid streams.

The plateaus that characterize the area are the perfect places from which to enjoy a rolling, expansive panorama.

And such is the Castellaccio: a hill north of the town, wedged like a strip of land between the Rio Purgatorio and the Rio Maggiore, a tributary of the Treja River, offering the viewer an exclusive view of the city and its surrounding landscape. A tuff spur with an unusual tapered shape, it blends natural beauty with precious archaeological traces spanning millennia, from the Faliscan period to the Middle Ages.

An oasis of history and nature in the heart of Tuscia, in Civita Castellana (VT).

The Castellaccio is a private area of ​​approximately 7 hectares, rich in scenic trails and unique archaeological remains, including the famous Etruscan cut-outs carved into the tuff.

Immersed in an extraordinary landscape, the site extends between the Rio Purgatorio and the Rio Maggiore, offering evocative views and an authentic experience of nature and culture.
