Parco regionale Marturanum

Parco regionale Marturanum encompasses 1,240 hectares of volcanic terrain with deep tuff valleys, dense forests, and winding rivers including Biedano and Vesca streams.

The area contains Bronze Age settlements and Etruscan necropolises, with archaeological findings dating from 396 BC when Romans conquered the region of Veio.

The natural history museum within the medieval village displays local artifacts and provides educational programs about regional archaeological discoveries and environmental conservation.

The park features marked hiking trails established by CAI Viterbo, leading visitors through archaeological sites, thermal springs, and observation points for wildlife viewing.

Iron-rich thermal springs emerge throughout the park, indicating recent volcanic activity, while rare glass salamanders inhabit the water-rich environments.
