Blera, Medieval commune in Viterbo Province, Italy
Blera extends along a narrow rock formation at the intersection of two deep valleys, positioned at 270 meters above sea level.
The Lombards under King Desiderius destroyed the settlement in 772, leading to centuries of territorial control by different noble families.
Multiple rock-carved tombs throughout the area display architectural elements that replicate the structural features of ancient residential buildings.
The municipality maintains connections with neighboring towns including Barbarano Romano, Canale Monterano, Tolfa, Vejano, and Vetralla.
Archaeological excavations at Selvasecca revealed a Republican period rural structure with a vaulted cistern built using opus caementicium construction technique.
