Overview

Norchia is an extraordinary site, wild and grandiose, almost abandoned, yet impressive! It is called "The Little Italian Petra" due to the presence of majestic rock tombs from the Etruscan era, in fact the ancient Orclae (Etruscan Norchia) was a rich city forming part of the powerful Etruscan capital Tarchna (Tarquinia). The Etruscan settlement began in the 3rd-34th century. to. C. but its origins are rooted in distant prehistory. Our adventure will start from the exploration of the necropolis, descending into the deep canyon of the Acqualta river, and then climbing up the woods to the Etruscan-Roman acropolis which in the Middle Ages was the site of the 12th century Di Vico castle. A.D. The traces of the medieval city are still jealously guarded by a lush forest. The city dominated the ancient "Via Clodia" dug entirely into the tuff for more than 400 meters, today called "Cava Buia", which we will have the thrill of exploring! The packed lunch will be offered by the Guide with typical products.

Necropoli di Norchia

Norchia is an extraordinary site, wild and grand, almost abandoned, yet impressive! Called "The Little Italian Petra" due to the presence of majestic rock tombs from the Etruscan era, the ancient Orclae (Norchia) was a rich city that was part of the powerful Etruscan capital Tarquinia. Our adventure will start from the exploration of the necropolis, descending into the deep canyon of the Acqualta river, and then going up through the woods to the Etruscan-Roman acropolis which in the Middle Ages was the site of the 12th century Di Vico castle. A.D. The traces of the medieval city are still jealously guarded by a luxuriant forest. The importance of Norchia was given by its strategic position in control of the ancient "Via Clodia" which connected Rome with Tuscany near Grosseto and Monte Argentario and which we will be able to explore by fording the river which will increase the sense of adventure of this unique trip! Expected a packed lunch with typical products during the excursion.
