Civita di Bagnoregio
A medieval hilltop village in Italy, known as "The Dying Town," accessible only via a pedestrian bridge due to its eroding volcanic landscape.
Tips from the community
No that’s not a set used in Game of Thrones. It’s Civita di Bagnoregio. Clinging like a land-lubbing limpet to a volcanic tuff in Viterbo province, this one’s a serious jaw dropper. The town can only be reached by a narrow causeway lifted high above a gorge. Around it swirl vistas of olive groves, cypress farms, and wooded mountains.
Inside, you can almost forget that you’re perched on a gravity-defying bluff. Bagnoregio is classic Italian charm, with trattorias serving crisp wines and bougainvillea spilling from the cracks of old cottages.
