Of the most fascinating historical village in the world

Palazzo Colesanti is the most important residence

When the stunning scenery of Civita opens in front of your eyes, your gaze invariably focuses on the gate that introduces the splendid village, and the three-light window that surmounts it. That is Palazzo Colesanti, a noble residence that has its first roots in the Etruscan era. which is superimposed on the Roman one, up to the Early and then to the late Middle Ages. Above the arcade of the gate, once called "Cava", two lions with human heads are symmetrically placed, representing the victory of the Bagnoresi over the Monaldeschi and Baglioni princes. Of the most fascinating historical village in the world, Palazzo Colesanti is the most important residence. Visiting it is equivalent to taking a journey into a living and tangible past to be caressed with the eyes and tasted with the hands. It is like entering a museum and discovering its treasures. The huge columns of the Roman cistern still standing firmly, after two thousand years, are the spectacular setting of a pleasant and composed garden where you can spend a peaceful and soothing time. There are seven levels of the castle, from the deepest cave to the top floor. From dusk onwards, walking through the village means learning a suspended time, the absence of its passing. Living Civita at night is like returning to a mother’s womb, floating in an atmosphere alien to time and space. The bridge, gently illuminated and taciturn, is the umbilical cord that joins and separates from the rest of the world. It happens to wake up in the clouds or on the aerial view of the valley lightly brushed by the first rays of the sun, in the intertwining of the song of a hundred birds. Each day seems to be the beginning of a new life, which you breathe deeply, without being able to take your eyes off that sea of harmony. Living Civita is an unparalleled privilege, and living it in the Colesanti palace means making it your own for an enchanted and unforgettable time.
