Ca' Morta, Ancient Celtic necropolis in Como, Italy
The archaeological site contains multiple burial chambers with funerary artifacts from the Early Iron Age period preserved beneath the earth surface.
Excavations in 1891 and 1928 revealed a tomb containing the remains of a noble Celtic woman alongside a ceremonial four-wheeled chariot from 500 BCE.
The burial site includes Greek ceramics, Etruscan bronze vessels, and Celtic ornaments, demonstrating the intersection of Mediterranean and Alpine trade networks.
The necropolis lies on Via Giovanni di Baserga in southern Como, with artifacts displayed at the Municipal Archaeological Giovio Museum.
The burial chamber contained a Negau helmet, golden pendants, and silver necklaces, indicating the elevated status of women in Celtic society.
