Sorano: archeo - trekking by Vitozza etruscan settlement

To reach the archeological settlement of Vitozza in the countryside, you have to drive to San Quirico, a fraction of the most populous town of Sorano, which is about 5 km from this archeological settlement.

When you arrive in the main square of San Quirico, there are two options: you can leave the car there and continue on foot following the indications or, you can drive until you reach the parking lot of the sports field and continue on foot.

It is advisable to wear comfortable shoes and sports clothing.

Journey time: approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes

Difficulty: Medium (not accessible to the disabled)

To reach the settlement itself, you have to walk about 1 mile through a shady and flat trail. Once you get to the guesthouse (masonry building),  along the right side and behind it there is a crossroads: you can choose both paths because it is a ring circuit. Following the path upwards, you reach the ruins of the castle1, and the ruins of the Chiesaccia and the Castle2, the Colombari and the caves. Following the flat path you visit the caves, the 2nd castle, the Chiesaccia, the columbaria and 1 castle. From the Columbaria starts a not equipped path leading to the Sant’Angiolino area and the headwaters of the River Lente.
