Necropolis of Palastreto, Etruscan necropolis in Sesto Fiorentino, Italy.
The necropolis contains multiple burial chambers carved into limestone rock, featuring different types of tombs including shaft and well structures.
The burial ground operated between the 8th and 6th centuries BCE, serving several Etruscan settlements in the Quinto Fiorentino area near Santa Lucia alla Castellina.
The burial methods evolved from simple shaft graves containing cremation urns to larger wells housing substantial terracotta urns with funeral objects.
The archaeological site remains accessible to visitors, though most burial pits are now covered and discovered artifacts are displayed in Florence and Sesto Fiorentino museums.
Some graves feature pairs of adjacent wells, indicating overlapping deposits that suggest family connections among the buried individuals.
