Take in the unique atmosphere of the former ancient “Silva Mantiana” forest

As we enter this place sacred to Etruscans, probably due to the gloomy and impenetrable appearance of the forest and the widespread presence of sulfurous water springs in an area, we’ll make our way to a special, sulfurous spring area – used by Romans for sacred rituals – and defined by the European Commission Habitats Directive as a “Site of Community Importance”.
