Church of San Pietro

One legend attributes Tuscania’s foundation to the son of Aeneas, a Trojan hero of Greco-Roman mythology and another legend tells us that Tuscania was founded by Tusco, the son of Hercules and Araxes. No matter who founded Tuscania, by 7th -6th century BC, it played a significant role in ancient Etruria as it became a center for maritime trade. The Tuscania we see today is the product of the medieval era with fortified walls and towers, but its deep Etruscan roots are evident in the many ancient necropolis and artifacts have also been discovered here. The monument church of Saint Peter is worth a visit. It dates back to the 8th century, with renovations taking place in 11th-12 centuries. Not to be missed is Parco Torre di Lavello with a breathtaking panoramic view of the majestic landscape that inspired poets.
