Volsinii, Archaeological site and Etruscan settlement in Bolsena, Italy
The excavated area contains remains of ancient walls, public buildings, a forum, and two residential structures named Domus of the Paintings and Domus of the Nymphaeum.
After Romans destroyed the original Etruscan city Velzna in 264 BCE, survivors established Volsinii Novi on the eastern shore of Lake Bolsena.
The archaeological complex reveals detailed information about Etruscan urban planning through its preserved street layout, water collection systems, and architectural elements.
The archaeological park opens Tuesday through Saturday, with morning hours from 8:00 to 13:30 and afternoon sessions from 14:00 to 19:30 during summer months.
The site features an underground chamber with preserved frescoes in the Domus of the Paintings, dating back to the second century BCE.
