The former Etruscan capital, Tarquinia boasts 3000 years of history. The city, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site is known for its impressive Necropolis with its stunning painted underground tombs which reveal aspects of the lives and religious beliefs of the ancient Etruscans. Many artifacts from this area have found their way into the collection of the British Museum, but there is still plenty to see at the local archeological museum. Tarquinia sits on a hill just in from the Tyrrhenian coast, for those who fancy a stop at the beach.
