TARQUINIA
Modern city on the top of a hill, Tarquinia has always had a great
reputation among the twelve Etruscan cities.
To see: the old LUCUMONIA, dated back to 2000 years ago, was one
of the most important Etruscan cities with its huge harbour activity.
At the bottom of the medieval suburb, the Vitelleschi Palace shelters
the National Museum of Tarquinia with the sarcophaguses of the
richest Etruscan families. Together with Cerveteri, Veio and Vulci,
Tarquinia is one of the most exciting places of the Etruscan civilization
