Understand
Latera is first of all a little medieval town. Its current heritage is a combination of medieval history and rural traditions. Latera has a population formed most of all by senior citizens. This situation, and emigration of local younger people to the big cities such as Rome, Milan and Viterbo, reflects the high decrease of population since 1950's.
Latera can be a good destination both for high and low periods. It can be pleasant a short visit of half day to discover the little medieval town, but also a journey of some weeks if your looking for relax, nature and points of interest. Situated in fact in a strategical position, Latera is almost near to lakes Lake Bolsena and Lake Mezzano, mountains Amiata, sea Montalto di Castro and Mount Argentario, UNESCO sites Val d'Orcia and Pienza, historical and archeological sites Vulci, Castro, Sovana, Pitigliano, Bolsena and many others.
