Poggio Tondo Etruscan archeological area

Some excavations conducted since the eighties of the twentieth century have allowed the discovery of a necropolis with four burial mounds (called tomb of the drum, the Chariot grave, grave of Cippo and tomb of the Two Doors), dating from the mid-seventh to the middle the sixth century BC, as well as a building block to be identified as a farm, in use until the end of the sixth century BC.

The area can be visited as with paths and illustrative panels.
