Vulci is an ancient Etruscan city that rises near today’s city of Canino, in the north of Tuscia, in the province of Viterbo.

Vulci is located in the heart of the Tuscan-Lazio Maremma, a few kilometers from Manciano.

The city of Vulci was abandoned starting from the 8th century BC, and is today one of the most precious testimonies of Etruscan-Roman history in the Maremma area, a splendid archaeological site immersed in hectares of protected natural park.

Vulci was a beautiful Etruscan city, with private homes, monuments, statues, squares, thermal baths and necropolis. There are very few places in the world where you can admire the structure of an ancient Etruscan city, and one of these is Vulci, considered the Italian Machu Picchu.

In Etruscan and Roman times, the city of Vulci played an important economic and commercial role, it was one of the main cultural centers of Etruria. It was therefore a rich city, as evidenced by the houses, decorated with precious frescoes and equipped with an internal courtyard. The tombs of the necropolis were impressive and particularly well-kept, divided into several burial chambers.

It takes a whole day to visit Vulci, to discover every corner, every story and every precious relic that tells of its ancient past. The archaeological park also has several naturalistic itineraries.
