Civita an ancient city in Italy

CIVITA DI BAGNOREGIO

ITALY

Founded two and half millennia ago by the Etruscans, this beautifully strange village is located on the top of an eroded hill. Civita is also known as "the dying village" due to progressive erosion that can cause the village to disappear. Currently, the village had more cats inhabitants than its handful of human residence!

Walking around this beautiful ancient village is surreal, charming in every corner. I wanted to enjoy every moment while I am there, knowing that this whole village might disappear in the future. Enjoy!
