Civita di Bagnoregio is an outlying village of the comune of Bagnoregio in the Province of Viterbo in central Italy. It lies 1 kilometre (0.6 mi) east of the town of Bagnoregio and about 120 kilometres (75 mi) north of Rome.
The only access is a footbridge from the nearby town, with a toll introduced in 2013.[1] Because of the toll, communal taxes were abolished in Civita and nearby Bagnoregio.[1] Due to its unstable foundation that often erodes, Civita is famously known as "the dying city".[2] It is one of I Borghi più belli d'Italia ("The most beautiful villages of Italy").[3]
