9Civita di Bagnoregio
Perched dramatically on a hilltop in central Italy, Civita di Bagnoregio is often called “the dying city” because of its slowly eroding volcanic rock base. Reached only by a long pedestrian bridge, the town feels like a floating island in the sky.
Its medieval stone houses, flower-filled balconies, and silent cobblestone streets create an atmosphere frozen in time. With almost no cars and very few permanent residents, Civita offers pure tranquility and unforgettable views over the surrounding valleys.
