Viterbo a neglected city
On holiday in Tuscia we visited Viterbo, what about... the city would have great potential, but it is much, too neglected. The medieval quarter is magical and took us back in time. Other parts of the city are shabby, dirty and convey a sense of abandonment. I am so sorry. NB very little tourism

Beautiful facade
Very nice from the outside, not so much inside. They have a movie very well made but in italian! With no subtitles! What a shame, the story of the conclave would be interesting to know.skip the museum but admire the duomo sobriety, beautiful
