Guided tour of Viterbo Underground
Duration
20 to 30 minutes
Overview
-
The path is completely excavated in the tuff, a volcanic rock that characterizes the current landscape of Tuscia. The origin of the tunnels is controversial. According to some accredited theories advanced by scholars and archaeologists, the first cut in the tuff could even date back to the Etruscans. At that time, the structure was probably used as a hydraulic system, a way to collect and channel rain and river water, and then to sort it where necessary through a dense network of tunnels.
