Etruscan Well, Archaeological museum in Perugia, Italy
The Etruscan Well features a cylindrical structure carved into rock, reaching a depth of 37 meters with a diameter of 5.6 meters at its base.
Built in the 3rd century BCE, this engineering work demonstrates the advanced water management capabilities of Etruscan civilization in central Italy.
The structure reflects Etruscan engineering methods with its perfectly circular shaft and precise stone block arrangement, showing their mastery of hydraulic systems.
Visitors can access the well through the Palazzo Sorbello, where guided tours explain the construction techniques and water collection methods.
The well contains two perpendicular flights of stairs that descend to different levels, allowing people to pass each other while carrying water vessels.
