Vetulonia, Archaeological site and necropolis in Castiglione della Pescaia, Italy

The excavated Vetulonia archaeological area contains monumental tombs, residential structures, and ancient streets that reveal the layout of this Etruscan settlement.

During the 9th to 3rd centuries BC, Vetulonia flourished as a major Etruscan center, controlling metal trade routes and maintaining a strategic port on Lake Prile.

The Isidoro Falchi Museum displays Etruscan artifacts, including jewelry, pottery, and terracotta decorations from the Casa di Medea showing Greek mythological scenes.

The archaeological park includes marked pathways connecting different excavation areas, with informational panels explaining the significance of each discovered structure.

The necropolis features the Tomb of Pietrera and Tomb of Diavolino, containing long access corridors and stone-vaulted chambers built by noble Etruscan families.
