Civita di Bagnoregio Map / Location

This hilltop hideaway is a quintessential medieval village. Civita di Bagnoregio, which teeters atop a rocky crag, is entered through a stone passageway cut by the Etruscans 2,500 years ago. Once inside, you have entered Italy the way it was in the Middle Ages, as the village is only accessible via a steep quarter-mile footbridge and there are no cars. Time seems to slow down on its well-worn crooked cobblestone streets. As the tufa rock on which it stands is slowly crumbling, Bagnoregio is often referred to as the “dying town,” so the time to see it is now.
