See the ancient Etruscan burial sites at Necropoli della Banditaccia, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Take a look inside nine unearthed burial mounds from the 6th century BCE, carved by hand out of volcanic tufa stone. Descend the narrow stone step passageways to step inside the mounds, which are built as replicas of the Etruscans’ own houses. Watch a film about Etruscan history projected on the inside of three tombs, which explains the construction and rituals of the tombs built for different sizes and classes of families.

Absolutely amazing Etruscan tombs! There are different types of tombs from different periods of Etruscan history. The written explanations aren't very detailed, so it's worth getting a guide to really understand what you're seeing. You can get there from Rome by taking the train to Ladispoli-Cerveteri, then there's a bus to the necropolis.

Fascinating, thought-provoking and peaceful place. Very enjoyable visit. A 10 euro ticket admits you to the museum as well as the necropolis, which is a great deal. Be advised that they only take cash.
