Built on the edge of the steep Fiora gorge. Once a Papal
customs house in the 18th Century, the Badia Castle has
a moat (with drawbridge) on 2 sides fed by a local spring,
and today houses the Museum of Vulci (Tel. +39.0761/437787)
containing some of the most important finds from the archaeological
digs in the city of Vulci.
Next to the Castle is the Devil's Bridge (Ponte dell'Abadia):
a fantastic Etruscan/Roman bridge with an interesting
outcrop of stalactites below the arch (due to seepage
from the old aqueduct) spanning the river way below with
its rich ecosystem.
