Incredible experience. Frescos that are 2500 years and are beautifully preserved. A very interesting visit, surrounded by nature.

Tarquinia is one of 12 Etruscan cities in the past. It is now a UNESCO World Heritage site. When we walked to this castle through the arch gate and passed the old stone wall and saw the circular tower, I wondered how the people at that time can build such an incredible beautiful castle that lasts till now. It was great for us to have a chance to have a taste of the past and enjoy. Happy Travelling!

As we had been to Rome many a time we branched out and took a Bus to Tarquinia instead and spent an awesome day exploring the Tombs and Museum, the Cathedral plus the quaint streets and houses. The Cathedral is very light and bright inside and on an extremely hot day it was blissfully cool. The frescos were interesting.

Located in the walled area of the old city this museum is a must see. The collection of sacarophagi and other works is amazing with all items having come from within the underground chambers of the necropolis. The building itself is a great example of architectural styles from various cultures. Originally build as a palace for a religious leader no expense was spared at the time for magnificent workmanship. It is easy for persons of all ages to move around this location. Do not miss walking around the town while here. It is a clean and beautiful area of upper style living. The fountain in the square is at the end of an ancient aquaduct.
