An imposing fortified palace, built as a fortress by the Aldobrandeschi (11th-12th century) and then the seat of the Orsini county. The complex houses the homonymous diocesan museum, rich in works of art that cover a period of time from the Middle Ages to the modern age, and the archaeological civic museum, where various finds from the nearby archaeological areas are kept.
Cavoni, or excavated roads
An Etruscan road network that partly link an Etruscan necropolis and several settlements in the area between Sovana, Sorano and Pitigliano. They consist mainly of trenches of variable width and length, excavated as nearly vertical cliffs in different types of bedrock, sometimes over 20 m high. The purpose of the cuts is not known: the main theories are that they were defense system against invaders, roads, quarries, or water conveyance schemes. Around Sovana, the Vie Cave wind around and towards the archaeological area of that town, then reconnecting with those from Sorano and Pitigliano. The main Vie Cave are Il Cavone, the Via Cava di San Sebastiano and the Via Cava of Poggio Prisca.
