We find us in one of the sourrest zones of the Tuscia Viterbese, where is tried of all to transform, in ploughed fields, stains, valleys and hills that they have preferred the atavistic vocations instead.
Blera was one of the most important cities of the southern Etruria and to confirmation of this today we can admire you numerous rocky necropolises that castle him on the cliff as a beehive. The country has drawn for many centuries its maintenance from the Roman Street Clodia, that untied him in the valley.
In Blera the rises "Museum of the Horse", devoted man-horse to the relationship in the centuries.
To little distance from the Hamlet of the Pariano the small fraction of Blera called Civitella Cesi rises, minuscule agglomeration of houses risen around the castle of the Torlonia. The suburb entertains an important handling, for the impassioned ones of the walks to horse, where you/they can be met the characteristic ones "pockmarks", the cowboy of the Maremma.
A visit certainly deserves the archelogico-naturalistic site of "Luni on the Mignone" where you can bathe in a wild and uncontaminated nature. In the hold valley flows the stream Mignone to whose crystalline waters are watered cows maremmane to the wild state. On the top that overhangs the valley there is an important prehistoric site.
