Necropoli di Castel d'Asso

Castel d'Asso is the most beautiful Etruscan rock necropolis ever brought to light. In ancient times it was called Axia, a city that dates back to the fourth century BC. The necropolis was recently discovered, in 1817 by the archaeologist Francesco Orioli. The most impressive tombs are that of Orioli, of Tetnie and the Great Tomb that has remained almost intact even internally.
