Like Lego?..... Ever wanted to see a town that's modelled totally out of porous rock like building blocks? Well, this town stands at the centre of marshland from where the entire tow,. churches, noble palazzos and the defensive walls of the city were sculpted from tufaceous rock. Tufa is a beautiful warm-coloured stone and is easily worked into all kinds of shapes which makes its malleable qualities, difficult to date. We came to see the abundance of Etruscan tombs which litter the countryside especially the Queen's, a labyrinthine maze of chambers, corridors, subterranean passages that descend for hundreds of feet connecting one floor with another. In town the houses & palazzos overlook narrow streets that open up onto piazzas leading to hidden cul-de-sacs where even Dan Brown eficionados would feel at home. Perhaps that is the reason that one marvels at the monumental sight of the Church of San Pietro atop the hill where the acropolis is found. San Pietro stands in solitary splendour, on a great grassy square surrounded by the remains of the walls, its back to the city, while its facade faces the bridge over the river and the ancient Via Clodia, leading to Rome. The village had overgrown its precinct and this progress encroached on the church. There are a quintet of other churches worth visiting. We stayed in a modest hotel called Hotel Al gallo, furnished with lovely antiques and a kitchen that was known for imaginative and varied cuisine. We supped at Da Dante, the oldest trattoria in Montefiascone and at a 14th century palazzo near the ancient portal to Bolsene, called da Piccietto. There are wonderful handmade products in leather, wool and terra-cotta which are easily purchased at Barlozzini. We loaded up on epicurean foodstuffs and headed for Lake Bolsera, the largest volcanic lake in Europe. It was difficult to choose a spot because there are so many old & beautiful villages around the shores. We chose a hillock near the Castle of Monaideschi. The boat ride to the island is excellent.

Don't leave the area of Tuscania without seeing this church and its surrounding buildings. The views from this height across the countryside are spectacular and over to Tuscania itself. You enter the church through a gate and then see a beautiful old arch and then turn the corner to see two lovely church towers and the stunning small church. Make time to view it as there are some superb mosaic floors and a few frescoes on the wall. Don't miss going down the stairs either side of the altar as that opens out to a lovely room full or arched ceilings and two frescoes on the wall, one of which has the most vivid shades of red and is quite perfect. Closed on Monday.

This is one of the highlights of Tuscania. The locals try to get married in this church if they can and it is well worth a visit.

The best time to visit is before sunset, hopefully on a sunny day. The interior od the church is just a wonder, such as he sagarto outside and just down the road there's another medieval pearl

Abbiamo potuto visitare questa chiesa solo per caso, in quanto non sapendo che bisognava prenotare la visita in anticipo, siamo stati fortunati ad arrivare insieme alla volontaria che si occupa di aprire la chiesa, che aveva appuntamento con altri ospiti. La chiesa è veramente suggestiva con tanto di cripta. Ricordate di prenotare sennò trovate chiuso. Per il pagamento chiedono un'offerta libera.

Un gioiello nascosto che merita assolutamente una visita come anche tutte le altre chiese di Tuscania, visitabile grazie all'opera di volontariato dei cittadini di Tuscania.

Ci si arriva facendo una semplice ma carina passeggiata che parte dal centro del paese, camminando potrete osservare in lontananza i resti del castello, non visitabile, e di un'antica strada della tuscia. Si arriva su un colle, Colle san pietro appunto, in uno spazio verde antistante la chiesa molto caratteristico dove sono presenti ancora le torri di difesa, la chiesa si compone di tre navate, internamente sembra quasi spoglia ma ricca strutturalmente. Visitabile anche la cripta.

Chiesa davvero suggestiva ed emozionante, colonnato nella cripta spettacolare.Un plauso ai volontari che ne rendono possibile la visita.

La Chiesa di San Pietro è semplicemente meravigliosa, essenziale, luminosa, libera da mobilio. Andate a visitarla vi regalerà un'emozione unica.

Chiesa molto suggestiva, bellissimo colonnato nella cripta. Un grosso "ma". Se non fosse per una associazione di volontari, la chiesa resterebbe chiusa e non visitabile, oppure sempre aperta e quindi in preda alla devastazione. Un esempio di come lo stato non valorizza i suoi beni. Un biglietto in ingesso da 1€ sarebbe già un buon inizio. Stessa storia la chiesa di Santa Maria Maggiore.
