The city is well maintained and welcoming with a beautiful historic center and a modern part that has undergone constant development in recent years. The ancient city of Tuscania was already inhabited by the Etruscans, rich and important, it took advantage of the maritime trade through the port of Montalto di Castro. The Romans conquered it in the third century. BC and marked a road that took the name of Clodia. Over time the city resumed life and the inhabited center began to expand on the current plateau, but already in 574 it was conquered by the Lombards during the descent towards Rome. in 774 and donated it to the Church which took control of it. Nevertheless Tuscania was repeatedly threatened by the families of tyrants who fought over the various fiefdoms and it was for this reason that it was elected a free municipality. During the fifteenth century. card. Giovanni Vitelleschi, hired by the Holy See to restore order and possession of his territories, stormed the great walls and definitively expelled the tyrants. During successive invasions and consequent destruction, the city lost many beauties, but the coup de grace came in 1971, when a violent earthquake destroyed many houses, churches and important buildings. Everything has been reconstructed with great care, but inevitably the face of the city has undergone profound changes. However, countless testimonies remain, the Etruscan necropolis, the medieval center and the great perimeter walls still miraculously erected. At the height of Etruscan power, the city, together with the nearby Tarquinia, was a strategic point along the trade routes of southern Etruria and extended up to the hill where the basilica of St. Peter stands today. Here it is thought that there was the acropolis of the Etruscan city. Even in Roman times it maintained the characteristic of extending over seven hills, just like Rome. Tuscania gradually assumes a hegemonic role over the entire surrounding area, extending its influence up to Viterbo, which was subdued as a castle of the city in 1207 and was pervaded by a great artistic and architectural fervor, favored by repopulation and by the presence of inside the walls of many religious orders, including the mendicant orders of the Franciscans and Augustinians
