Capranica, Italian comune
Capranica is a commune in the Province of Viterbo in Lazio, located in central Italy. The town sits on a hillside surrounded by the rolling countryside that characterizes this part of central Italy.
Capranica developed from a medieval settlement, like many small towns in this region of central Italy. The area passed through the hands of various local noble families whose influence shaped the town over centuries.
The best time to visit is outside the peak summer heat, as the hillside location makes exploring on foot more pleasant. The area is connected to nearby towns by local roads, so arriving by car or public transport is practical.
