Parco Regionale di Veio, Roma
Lazio
Parco Regionale di Veio (14,000 ha) protects the territory of Veii — the largest Etruscan city, defeated by Rome in 396 BC after a 10-year siege. The park is 15 km north of Rome but completely rural — wild boar, roe deer, porcupine and fox are common. The Cremera gorge inside the park is a dramatic tuff canyon. The Etruscan road tunnels (cunicoli) are still walkable in places.
