Itinerary

1. 1

   Necropolis of Tarquinia

   2min

   You'll make our way to the tombs, you'll walk through the evocative necropolis surrounded by a panorama of serene hills, valleys, and the sparkling sea. As you descend down the steps 2,500 years into history towards the burial chambers, you come face to face with vibrant details that paint a portrait of the daily lives of these enigmatic ancient people. Tickets are currently € 8 per person and can be purchased on location.

2. 2

   Palazzo Vitelleschi

   1h 30min

   In the center of Tarquinia lies this splendid Gothic Palace, which today is the Etruscan National Museum. On three floors, it houses a precious collection of Etruscan Artifacts which were excavated from the Necropolis of Monterozzi. Tickets to the museum are currently € 6 and can be bought on location.

3. 3

   Church of San Pietro

   30min

   Beautiful Gothic Romanesque church on a hill just outside Tuscania, dominated by a rose window on the facade. The interior architecture and the mosaics are definitely worth seeing! You can choose to leave an offering that will go towards the restoration at the caretakers.

4. 4

   Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore

   30min

   Dominated by a tall bell tower, the facade of Santa Maria Maggiore is adorned with carved and sculpted Christian symbols of the Evangelists and biblical stories. The use of different colored stones gives prominence to its large wheel-shaped rose-window.
