Sutri
was founded by the Etruscans over 2000 years ago and still has a number
of archaelogical remains from this period and the Roman, Lombard and medieval
eras. In the past, Sutri has served as the seat of the bishopric and a stopover
for pilgrims en route to Rome. Today, Sutri's centro storico (medieval centre)
is an attractive, interesting place to explore and will give you a taste of local
Italian life without the tourists.
Sutri is ideally located to explore Rome,
Umbria and Northern Lazio. It is 40 minutes from Rome by car and served by a bus
a train. The local area is also very attractive with two beautiful lakes 15 minutes
a way and dozens of medieval villages each with their own traditions, festivals
and personalities.
