Overview
From the port after 50 minutes driving arrive to Montefiascone offering panoramic views over Lake Bolsena, the largest volcanic lake in Europe. It is also famous for its vineyards and the legendary Est! Est!! Est! wine, which owes its name to an intriguing medieval tale. According to the legend, in 1111 AD, German King Henry V traveled to Rome for his coronation, accompanied by his wine-loving bishop, J. Defuk. The bishop’s servant, Martino, was tasked with scouting the best taverns along the way, marking the good ones with “Est” (It is here!). Upon reaching Montefiascone, he found the wine so exceptional that he tripled the inscription, adding exclamation points: Est! Est!! Est!!! After 15 min we arrived to “Civita Bagnoregio” also called “dying city” because the land on which it stands is slowly falling away and will inevitably disappear when the final pieces crumble into the Calanchi Valley. Let yourself be enchanted by the unique atmosphere before returning to the port.

Civita di Bagnoregio is located in Tuscia on the border between Tuscany and Lazio. Discover and Visit the dying city. It is called the dying city because the land on which it stands is slowly falling away and will inevitably disappear when the final pieces crumble into the spectacular Valle dei Calanchi below. Knowing this and knowing that nothing can be done to prevent it makes your visit all the more special, eternal and timeless. Be one of the last people to visit the village before it ceases to exist.nnConnected to the rest of the world by a three hundred meter bridge, Civita di Bagnoregio is a charming village which will make you feel you are visiting a world that no longer exists. Made up of old houses, narrow streets and surrounded by beautiful landscapes, walk through this magnificently unique setting. The Romanesque Arch at the entrance to Civita was built by the Etruscans 2,500 years ago and all that remains of the Renaissance Palace is the facade, the rest collapsed into the canyon. Visit the largest Piazza: the site of donkey races on the first Sunday of June and the second Sunday of September. In the evening, the piazza is the place to be, as whatu2019s left of the town socialises there.
