Tarquinia

If you want to see tombs dating back to the 6th Century BC that have been recently excavated, go to Tarquinia, a town with medieval turrets and fortifications atop rocky cliffs overlooking the sea. It would seem unusual for a medieval town to have an Etruscan name, but actually, Tarquinia is the adopted name of the old medieval community of Corneto, in honor of the major Etruscan city that once stood nearby. It is easy to get to from Civitavecchia.
