COURT OF MAJESTY '- ANCIENT RESIDENCE

Corte della Maestà (Civita di Bagnoregio, Lazio) 20 Verified Reviews | Tablet Hotels

"All roads may lead to Rome, but there’s no one to stop you from pulling a U-turn. You won’t have to travel far outside the capital before the medieval village of Civita di Bagnoregio rises up into view on a hilltop before you. It’s a vision so magnificent that you’ll have a hard time believing that Italians once nicknamed the place “la cittá che muore” – the dying city. But natural disasters happen even in a landscape as bucolic as this one: an earthquake struck in 1685, and the residents fled, including the bishop, who abandoned his home and seminary." - Tablet Hotels
