The Isolated Sky City of Bygone Days.

Located near Orvieto, Italy, the isolated sky city of Civita di Bagnoregio stands like a castle home🏰, perched lonely atop a mountain📸, evoking a sense of poignant beauty💔. This ancient city was built 2500 years ago on a volcanic tuff base, which is geologically fragile and continuously eroded by the elements, placing it on the list of endangered sites. The small town is connected to the outside world only by a footbridge, which can only be crossed on foot. From the bridge, one can view the city's perimeter📸, with its weathered ruins and remnants. The contrast with the modernized countryside across the way📸🌹 makes it appear even more desolate. The silence within the city is extraordinary📸, perhaps reflecting the non-contentious nature of its people with the world? If you have the chance, you must visit in person, as it's uncertain what it will look like in a few years.

Civita di Bagnoregio

Sitting on a plateau of friable volcanic tuff, Civita di Bagnoregio is frequently named “The Dying Town” because of the incessant erosion, so there’s only a handful of citizens here. The view from Bagnoregio is as impressive as you might expect. Photos don’t make justice to this gem, and a visit should be on every serious traveler of Italy. Accessing to the beautiful historic centre is made possibile only by a foot bridge, every other road is just non-existent. Inside the hamlet ou can spot lots of details from its Etruscan past and the while place is very well preserved despite a recent revival in tourism that constantly brings crowds from all over the world, and sometimes this makes local residents a little nervous when their privacy is broken. Tip: Book a night in one of the several bed and breakfasts for a very romantic trip! #italy #italytravel #italybeauties #lazio #travel #civitadibagnoregio #awesomepic
