Norchia Necropolis
Highlight • Historical Site
The settlement occupied a narrow plateau at the intersection of the Pile and Acqualta ditches, with the Biedano stream. The only access route was the Via Clodia, which crossed the hill and overcame the Biedano via a three-arched bridge, now in ruins.
To go back towards Tuscania, the Via Clodia was cut into the tuffaceous walls in an area called Cava Buia. This segment of the road, dating back to Roman times, is still today one of the most fascinating and uncontaminated landscapes of the hinterland of southern Etruria.

Basilica of San Pietro, Tuscania
Highlight • Religious Site
According to Catholic understanding, he is the supreme apostle, and the two millennia-long line of popes - currently Francis - are his successor. In statues and paintings, Peter is almost always depicted with two keys in his hand; this attribute refers to the biblical saying in Matthew: “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven” (Chapter 16, verse 19).
San Pietro is - together with San Paolo - also known as the "Prince of the Apostles", their common feast day in the saints' calendar is June 29th.
