For the more adventurous, a few steps away from Villa Arzilla, there is the mysterious and enchanting Corviano Natural Monument: a forest that hosts traces of the Iron Age, Etruscan constructions and Roman walls. A place where nature, history and archaeology blend together in perfect harmony.
As you stroll through the forest, you will come across evocative dwellings carved into the rock, perfectly preserved anthropomorphic tombs hidden by vegetation, and spectacular rocky overhangs where you can take photos of breathtaking views.
