Viterbo, the city of the Popes

Viterbo Papal Palace
Viterbo Papal Palace
A friend of mine lives in Viterbo, I am very happy to visit her sometimes even for the beauty of her city. No matter when you get here, you can always find a variety of events that are absolutely worth seeing. In addition to the religious festivals of the patron saints of the city, you will find the Italian Film Festival, and a Baroque Festival with classical music. During the month of September, the city organizes various events throughout the period. I was lucky enough to be able to attend some of these parties. The city is also worth seeing outside the festival period.

It was built on a dive hill. The main attraction of the city is the Papi Palace, with the Cathedral of San Lorenzo. Not far from here is the medieval village of San Pellegrino, where the buildings have remained in original style, with their casting stairs. In this neighborhood the Feast of San Pellegrino in Fiore is held in May, in which the whole neighborhood will be covered with flowers.
I also visited the Etruscan Museum, but we also went a few kilometers outside Viterbo to explore the surrounding area, where you can also see the Terme dei Papi , the former thermal baths.
