Remains of the walled city of Falerii Novi
Civita Castellana, Italy (IT)
Falerii Novi was a walled town in the Tiber River valley, about 50km north of Rome and 6km west of Civita Castellana. It was created by the Romans, who resettled the inhabitants of Falerii Veteres in this much less defensible position after a revolt in 241 BC. The town is situated on a slight volcanic plateau.

Recently, the town has been surveyed as part of the Tiber Valley Project, showing the urbanisation of this area by the Romans.
