Calcata, Medieval commune in Viterbo Province, Italy
The town center sits on volcanic cliffs at 172 meters elevation, featuring narrow stone streets surrounded by medieval defensive walls and ancient buildings.
The Italian government condemned the historical center in the 1930s due to concerns about cliff stability, leading residents to relocate to Calcata Nuova.
Artists and creators established their studios in the abandoned medieval buildings during the 1960s, transforming the town into an arts center.
Visitors can explore the town through guided walking tours, with parking available outside the historic center due to vehicle restrictions.
The Church of Santissimo Nome di Gesù contains religious artifacts and decorative elements dating from the fourteenth century.
