About
The largest necropolis in the Mediterranean.
As Etruscan culture changed and advanced over a period of 600 years, their burial structures in this massive city of the dead followed suit. Just outside the modern city of Cerveteri in Rome Province, the sprawling 1000 acre complex began to evolve around 3000 years ago as Etruscan society began to flourish. From there, the city expanded, requiring more architecture and even a bit of city planning.
