The verdict
Parco dei Mostri di Bomarzo takes the lead
Parco dei Mostri di Bomarzo scores 8,1/10, ahead of Grand Temple de Vulci (7,7). Un bois de 3 hectares peuplé d'une trentaine de créatures sculptées au XVIe siècle dans le peperino : l'Ogre, la maison penchée, le dragon, entre autres. Compte 15 €, des sentiers en terre glissants après la pluie et une forte affluence les week-ends de printemps.
Choose Grand Temple de Vulci if…
- à Vulci, le Grand Temple se parcourt sans barrière au milieu de 900 hectares de canyons volcaniques, entre vestiges étrusques, nécropole peinte et musée dans un château médiéval
Its weak point in this head-to-head: photogénie (7,6). Canyons volcaniques, cascade du Fiora dans le lac de Pellicone et pont du Diable de 30 m vers le château de la Badia : paysage remarquable.
