Tour Details
Full Description
Tarquinia is a medieval town renowned for its archaeological remains, which provide exceptional evidence of the ancient Etruscan civilization that inhabited the territories of modern Tuscany, Umbria, and Lazio before the Roman conquests.
The history of the Etruscans is full of uncertainties and enigmas due to the scarcity of texts about this civilization. This is why a visit to one of the most important Etruscan cities, with its well-preserved necropolis, will offer you a unique experience. With our professional art historian, you will explore the ancient tombs listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, as well as the National Archaeological Museum, which houses an important collection of Etruscan art.
