The labyrinth under the city of Viterbo has seen its share of drama over the centuries. It is thought to date back to the Etruscan era, but we can say with certainty the tunnel network was used as a secret escape route during sieges or invasions in the Middle Ages. It came into use again during WWII, acting as an air raid shelter.
You cannot come to Viterbo and not visit the Palace of the Popes! Any history buff will revel in uncovering the stories tied to the Viterbo, known as the “City of the Popes” thanks to being the Papal seat between 1257 and 1281. The palace still retains the partial appearance of a military fortress, which it was back in 1255, before being transformed into a papal court.
