Eutruscan Tombs

Today we visited the Eutruscan Tombs at Tarquinia - there are about 6000 tombs in the area but only 15-20 can be visited at any one time. The entrances have little shelters over them to protect the frescos from the weather and vandals.

The interior of a tomb with a second chamber leading off.

These tombs are from around 500bc - at 2,500 years old the pictures and colours are amazing!!
