Civita Castellana On the trail

Civita Castellana: Faliscan museum, Sangallo fort and Cosmati mosaics

Civita Castellana

Faliscan finds are kept here inside a Renaissance fort, which is a fair summary of the town: one thing built on top of another, with the cathedral porch out front glittering in cut marble.

How the day goes

  1. The National Museum of the Agro Falisco, housed in the fort above the gorge.
  2. Forte Sangallo itself, built when artillery had just changed how forts had to be made.
  3. Then the cathedral, and the Cosmati porch with its inlaid stone.
