Orte
Built on tuff rock above the Tiber valley, Orte is a modest Lazio town north of Rome with an Etruscan past stretching back to the 6th century BC — caves cut into the rock face are still visible today. The medieval hilltop centre holds an unusual number of historic churches for its size, and the elevated position gives broad views over the surrounding valley. It also sits at a major road and rail junction, making it an easy stop between Rome and Florence.
