 It is a small parc of 7 hectares, opened in 1988, located near the historical centre of Sutri, along the Via Cassia in direction of Rome. It is essentially the property belonging to a historical villa, surrounded by an Italian style garden. Inside, there is an Etruscan monumental rock necropolis, a particular elliptical amphitheatre, completely excavated from the tuff, and the small medieval church of the Madonna del Parto with its walls covered with votive frescoes, created on the site of a pre-existing Roman mithreum.  There is an entrance fee to be paid for the parc.
The same ticket grants admittance to the Museo Minerario, hosted in an ancient monastery of the 15th century in a parc called Oasi di Sapientia. It presents an interesting collection of raw minerals from all over the world, placed in 52 niches of the caves, in which the original habitats of their discovery are reproduced.
