municipality
In South Umbria, the city of Terni stretches along a flat basin guarded by green hills, high cliffs and valleys that characterize its entire territory dotted with splendid medieval villages and natural wonders among them: the Marmore Falls and Lake Piediluco.
origins
In the marshy basin of the Nahar (=Nera) the proto-urban center of Terni developed between the Late Bronze Age and the Early Iron Age (between the 10th and 7th centuries B.C.), as evidenced by the necropolis found in the late 19th century and immediately appeared to be fundamental in delineating the history of the culture of lower Umbria.

what to see
The historic center and its historical and architectural stratifications can be discovered through thematic itineraries rediscovering Roman Terni, medieval Terni, Renaissance Terni, early 20th century architecture and more properly industrial Terni.
territory
There are few traces from the time of the Umbrians-the steel mills insist over the large area where necropolis of these peoples were found-some works and monuments from the Roman period when the city was called Interamna Nahars remain instead.
The itinerary ‘urban area of the town hall, monumentalized in the 1st century, are visible: the large opus quadratum walls on Giannelli Street that support the embankment on which the Public Gardens and the Faustus Amphitheater stand on Bishop’s Street; there are no major traces of the theater was in today’s Aminale Street nor of the Forum that insisted on today’s Republic Square.
