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

Located in the beautiful and peaceful town of Tarquinia this museum houses incredible examples of the ancient Etruscan people. The workmanship of the stone masons on the sarcophagi is truly amazing.....the workmanship on the pottery vessels represents a very high level or skill. While visiting this facility take some time to walk up the cobbled street and see the the old town center and fountain.

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!

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.
