Si trova nella valle dei calanchi, un'area situata tra il lago di Bolsena ad ovest e la valle del Tevere ad est, nel comune di Bagnoregio. È costituita da due valli principali: il Fossato del Rio Torbido e il Fossato del Rio Chiaro. In origine questi luoghi dovevano essere più dolci e accessibili ed erano attraversati da un'antica strada che collegava la valle del Tevere al Lago di Bolsena. La morfologia di quest'area è stata provocata dall'erosione e dalle frane. Il territorio è costituito da due formazioni distinte per cronologia e tipo. Quella più antica è quella argillosa, di origine marina e costituisce lo strato di base, particolarmente soggetto all'erosione. Gli strati superiori sono invece formati da materiale tufaceo e lavico. La veloce erosione è dovuta all'opera dei torrenti, agli agenti atmosferici, ma anche al disboscamento. Abitata da sole sedici persone (al 2011) e situata in posizione isolata, Civita è raggiungibile solo attraverso un ponte pedonale in cemento armato costruito nel 1965. Il ponte può essere percorso soltanto a piedi ma il comune di Bagnoregio, venendo incontro alle esigenze di chi vive o lavora in questo luogo, ha emesso una circolare in cui dichiara che, in determinati orari, residenti e persone autorizzate possono attraversare il ponte a bordo di cicli e motocicli. La causa del suo isolamento è la progressiva erosione della collina e della vallata circostante, che ha dato vita alle tipiche forme dei calanchi e che continua ancora nel ventunesimo secolo, rischiando di far scomparire la frazione, per questo chiamata anche "la città che muore" o, più raramente, "il paese che muore".

The night setting and the excellent performance reduce the impact that as you know I consider negative of the access road. I like it.

True Grandpa, the access road is not the best, then (for those who do not use Photoshop like me) I noticed that just before the access, always comes that greenish patch)
