Tumulo di Camucia, Etruscan burial mound in Camucia, Cortona, Italy.
The Tumulo di Camucia contains two separate tombs connected by corridors, with the main tomb featuring a symmetrical layout resembling an ancient house structure.
French archaeologist Alessandro François discovered and excavated this Etruscan burial site in 1842, leading to its alternative name Melone François.
The tomb architecture reflects Etruscan burial practices from the late 7th century BCE, with evidence of continued use through the 4th century BCE.
The archaeological site is managed by MAEC as part of the Cortona Archaeological Park, with artifacts from excavations displayed in the museum.
The symmetrical design of Tomb A suggests it was built for two brothers, while Tomb B contains three burial chambers on each side and a terminal cell.
