Pozzo Etrusco, Ancient water well museum in Perugia, Italy
The cylindrical cavity reaches 37 meters deep with a diameter of 5.6 meters, featuring a complex system of stone stairs for exploration.
The Etruscan civilization constructed this engineering marvel in the third century BC as a water reservoir for the ancient settlement of Perugia.
The well demonstrates the advanced hydraulic engineering methods of Etruscan builders through its intricate stone construction and water management system.
The site operates from 10:00 to 13:30 and 14:30 to 18:00 during peak season, with guided tours available for 3 euros per person.
The structure incorporates massive travertine blocks and monolithic beams, creating an architectural design that differs from typical water reserves of its era.
