This interesting town is located 45 km from Viterbo, perched on a hill that allows it to benefit from a wonderful view. For informational purposes, I add that Tarquinia is located a few kilometers from the sea, but this is not the aspect that I would like to stop on, even if many do it. they will consider it important.

What interests me most is the past of the city and, more precisely, the numerous Etruscan findings collected in the Museum National archaeological of which many come from the Etruscan Necropolis located about a kilometer from Tarquinia.

Among numerous tombs, only a dozen can be visited, but it is more than enough to be impressed by the art and culture of this great civilization agrave;. The burial walls constitute a real picture gallery of Etruscan art and there is no art book that does not mention the tomb Hunting and Fishing, Lionesses, Fior di Loto, Jugglers, Cardarelli, floggings.

Many finds found in the Necropolis such as vases, ceramics, jewels, sculptures, coins, are kept in the museum located in a splendid, fifteenth-century Palazzo Vitelleschi , because Tarquinia, in addition to having preserved the Etruscan spirit, has also preserved the medieval and Renaissance aspect.

The walk will allow you to discover historic houses and buildings, the long walls that surrounds the historic center, churches of ancient origins and many towers thanks to which Tarquinia is called by some S. Gimignano del Lazio.
