Exactly 65 kilometers north of Rome, Civita Castellana stands directly over the ruins of Falerii Veteres, an archaic settlement originally built by the ancient Falisci tribe. Today, this municipality in the Viterbo province is home to nearly 15,600 residents living atop layers of pre-Roman history.
The surrounding terrain is anchored by Mount Soracte, located just 10 kilometers to the southeast. This proximity to a major geographic landmark, combined with its profound Faliscan roots, places the town firmly within the ancient historical timeline of northern Lazio.
