VITERBO – LUXURY PROPERTIES FOR SALE: VILLAS AND FARMHOUSES

The area of Viterbo was already inhabited in the Neolithic period, but there are no documents attesting the presence of a real city until the Middle Ages. In Roman times, a fort was built in the area, called Castrum Herculis. The first documentary traces, although fragmentary, date back to the early Middle Ages: the fort captured by the Lombards guarded the border between the Duchies of Tuscia and the Byzantine duchy of Rome. In 852 a papal document recognizes the Castrum Viterbii as part of the Saint Peter's Lands. In the 12th century the city declared itself a free municipality and in the 13th it entered the papal orbit, an event which was followed by a noteworthy artistic and economic development.

The period of the Avignon Papacy marked the beginning of the decadence for Viterbo which followed the fate of the State of the Church without major events. In 1798 Viterbo was occupied by the French and not even one hundred years later, in 1870, the city was conquered by the Savoy army and annexed to the Kingdom of Italy, losing however the title of capital that was only returned in 1927.

Among the monuments of this city are the churches, such as the Cathedral of San Lorenzo and the Church of Santa Maria Nuova, and the Palazzo dei Papi (13th century).

In this historic city, Romolini Immobiliare offers a selection of country villas, farms and prestigious apartments for sale.
