Tumulo del Principe etrusco, Etruscan tomb in Pisa, Italy
The Tumulo del Principe consists of a large burial mound measuring 30 meters in diameter, surrounded by vertical stone slabs and monolithic pairs.
Archaeological excavations in 1994 uncovered this seventh-century BC burial site, which forms part of a vast necropolis extending from via del Brennero to Barbaricina.
The interior contains a square pit with pottery fragments, animal bones, and a ceremonially broken iron trident, indicating complex Etruscan funeral practices.
The archaeological site stands in the San Jacopo area of Pisa, with artifacts from the excavation displayed at the Museum of Ancient Ships.
The absence of human remains and the presence of a broken trident suggest this structure served as a memorial for a maritime ruler lost at sea.
