Vitozza, a significant rock settlement in the municipality of Sorano, has medieval roots, presumably at the end of the 11th century, around the castle built by the Aldobrandeschi. This castle structure is located in a rock settlement which probably saw settlements already in the Etruscan-Roman era.

Over the centuries, Vitozza has passed through various dominations, including Orvieto, the Basques, the Aldobrandeschi, Siena and the Orsini. Despite its historical importance, the settlement suffered a slow decline and progressive abandonment, with the population moving to San Quirico in the sixteenth century.

However, the Vitozza caves remained inhabited until the eighteenth century, as documented by the 1783 census conducted by the Lorena family. The history of Vitozza is today told through descriptive panels at the entrances to the caves, highlighting the people and families who lived there centuries ago.

Hiking during rainy days can be very slippery. It’s best to avoid walking above the caves, as there are several holes in the area.

Vitozza Parking Area – Città del Tufo Archaeological Park

Highlight • Parking

Free Parking - take some hiking boots in case you want to explore the area. Due to Mosquitos I would not recommend short pants in the summer time like early June July.
