Located in the province of Viterbo within the Lazio Region, the old Etruscan town of Tuscania is saturated with culture and history. Perfect for a quick day-trip from Rome, Tuscania is just an hour and a half way from Italy's capital and is home to several beautiful sites. The Church of San Pietro is the main monument in the city and was built in the 8th century.

Other sights to behold in Tuscania include the Etruscan Museum where sarcophagi from nearby tombs have restored and put on display. The Church of Santa Maria Maggiore is equally interesting with its finely decorated portals and magnificent façade. Also not to be missed are the Tower of Lavello, Fontanna delle Sette Cannelle and necropolises like the Tomb of the Queen and the Pian di Mola.
