San Giovenale, Etruscan necropolis in Blera, Italy
The archaeological site spreads across a high plateau divided into two sections, the Acropolis and the Borgo, surrounded by ancient burial grounds.
The Swedish Institute at Rome conducted extensive excavations during the 1950s and 1960s, with King Gustaf VI Adolf participating as an archaeologist.
The excavated artifacts and structures within San Giovenale reveal important information about the organization and daily life of medium-sized Etruscan settlements.
The archaeological site remains open throughout the day and night, though the terrain makes access difficult for visitors with mobility requirements.
The findings from San Giovenale excavations are displayed at the Etruscan Museum of the Rocca Albornoz in Viterbo, presenting tangible links to ancient civilization.
