Civita: Jewel on the Hill

Perched on a pinnacle, in a grand canyon, the traffic-free village of Civita is Italy's classic hilltown. In a town so full of history, exploring Civita becomes a cultural scavenger hunt. Every lane tells a story, from 12th century arches to one-time Renaissance palaces and Roman temples.
