Description
The ancient village of Rocca Ripesena stands in front of a cliff near the city of Orvieto in the Umbrian region of Italy. Rocca Ripesena, also called "The City of Roses", has hundreds of varieties of roses adorning the lanes, courtyards, walls and hidden corners of the village. This climbing path is lined with roses and leads the visitor to the summit of the Rocca, the large cliff that dominates the village. The culmination of the tufo rock cliff is the remains of volcanic activity, on top of which remains of ancient foundations and cavities used by the Etruscans have been found.
