At the entrance to Civita, this arch was cut by the Etruscans 2,500 years ago.
All that remains of an old palace is the façade, the rest collapsed into the canyon from erosion of the hill Civita sits on.
The town's only public phone is at the piazza, the site of donkey races on the first Sunday in June and the second Sunday of September. The columns are Etruscan. In the evening, the piazza is the place to be, as what's left of the town socializes there.
This church is on the site of an Etruscan temple, and after that a Roman temple. It has a fine campanile (bell tower), altar, and crucifix.
Follow the main road to the far side of town to see a lovely garden with knockout canyon views. If the garden is open, Maria will greet you in a small piazza and urge you to see it. She shows the garden to visitors for pocket change; give her a euro or two.
A series of caves at the east end of town, one of which was made into a chapel, called the Chapel of the Incarcerated.
Open Friday through Wednesday 12:30-3PM and 7-10PM, closed Thursday, on Piazza Marconi.
