CELLENO “The Ghost Village” | CELLENO “Il Borgo Fantasma” 

A few kilometres from Civita di Bagnoregio, also known as the DYING CITY , there is a beautiful village, that few people know. CELLENO “The Ghost Village”

Celleno, a village perched on a tuff spur in the province of Viterbo, not even far from Orvieto, has much in common with the more famous Lazio village, both united by a sad destiny and common events.

Celleno was first hit by epidemics, then by landslides, terrible events that occurred in unspecified years, and finally destroyed by an earthquake in 1931. The fact is that from the end of 1800 it was abandoned. Today it is considered a GHOST TOWN!

The new village of Celleno was rebuilt not far away in the 1930s, today there are just under 1500 inhabitants.
