Viterbo

Built around the early-medieval Castrum Viterbii, Viterbo grew into one of northern Lazio’s best-preserved walled cities. Set on the lower slopes of the Cimini Mountains, it is known for its volcanic terrain and long tradition of thermal bathing, including the Terme dei Papi. The compact medieval quarter of San Pellegrino retains stone towers, arches and narrow lanes, while the Palazzo dei Papi recalls the period when popes made Viterbo their seat in the 13th century. Each September, the city’s devotion to its patron Saint Rose is marked by the transport of the towering Macchina di Santa Rosa. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Lazio.
