Monterozzi Necropolis

The Etruscan necropolis of Monterozzi also known as the necropolis of Tarquinia, contains painted tombs that represent the most important examples of Etruscan art that have come down to our times. The underground burial chambers, modeled like the interiors of the houses, have walls decorated with scenes depicting funeral banquets, dancers, players, jugglers, landscapes, with intense and lively colors. The extraordinary series of painted tombs represents the most prestigious nucleus of the Tarquinia necropolis which remains for this aspect, the most important in the Mediterranean. In the necropolis sector currently open to the public, it is possible to admire some of the underground tombs with the most famous paintings, such as the tombs of the Lionesses, the Leopards, the Hunting and Fishing, the Jugglers, and others. Many of the artifacts found in the necropolis are collected in the National Archaeological Museum of Tarquinia and in many other museums around the world.
