Top 22 things to do and attractions in Tarquinia

Nice. Lots of stairs. Well preserved. BUT only half of the necropolis is open to visitors due to PNRR renovation. they didn't tell us at the ticket office.

Very nicely set up situation for presenting and preserving Etruscan frescos. Half of it was closed for maintenance when we were there but what we were able to see made it well worth the trip.

Amazing Day trip from Rome with Scoot Around Rome , perfect timing, convenient best way to enjoy this and the other necropolis . Weather was amazing and we had time to see all the tombs.Very happy, a must !! thank you

Absolutely unique archaeological site. Really worth the visit. Unfortunately, around 3/4 of the site and around 2/3 of the most famous tombs (including the most famous, of the Leopards) are under renovation for “at least” more 6 months and currently not accessible. I did not find this information anywhere before driving here.

Wonderful archeological site. This was the second time I took our children here and It went really well. Children really like to check every tomb, go down the stairs, push the button that turns the light on and admire the paintings. The only thing is that this time the bar was closed but drinking water was available at the entrance.

It's a wonderful place rich in Italian history! Bravo to the Tuscany's wisdom and architecture! It will live for years and years!...earn for years and years!...be enjoyed for years and years! Glory to God, the author of all creation 🙏🙏🙏

The place is worth visiting. A green hill overlooking the fields outside the city. Filled with well preserved chambers/ tombs what are dug into the ground and "visitable". The admission which normally is just €8 for adults, was free on the 1st sunday of the month. Signs tell in italian and english the story behind each of the persons to which the tombs are devoted to. The simple architecture of the place, the scenery and the fact that a lot of work has been put in place to make this visitor friendly even for everyone make it certainly worth your time.

What a treasure! I definitely recommend this amazing museum. It probably hosts the richest collection of Etruscan art. You will dig into the past discovering their cults and their skills in working metals and rocks. The ticket (combined with the tombs is only 10 euros). The beautiful building of the museum is itself worth the price of the visit. I am not giving 5 stars because unluckily, the pieces at the museum are not well displayed. The narrative during the visit and the descriptions of the objects are missing. But worst of all, I didn’t see any indications in English. I’m saying this as an Italian, sorry but this is not acceptable in 2021!

Very good museum fast and easy. With a lot of context and informations and it shows a lot of exemples. Only big problem, there is too little of English traductions, most of it is in Italian which makes it hard to understand the history of the Étrusques without knowing Italian.

One of my favorite museums in Italy. It features a very large collection of Etruscan and Roman sarcophagi and funeral objects. Don't miss it!

Lovely ancient town. Worth a visit

This museum has a lot of finds of Etruscan civilians. It also has some greek vases. The informations are clear and it has more than one floors with expositions. It's very complete.

The artefacts are wonderful, however too little info in English, very little explanation of details in English, quite expensive. Bizarre ticket vendor at the Necropolis, verbally abusive. Necropolis =disappointing, Museum in Tarquinia =nice. Overall, disappointing, discouraging.

Very nice museum, bit be sure to first visit the burial chambers 1.5 km down the road to know where all the stuff came from

(Translated by Google) Very interesting Etruscan necropolis located on a very green hill with many olive trees. The more or less frescoed tombs do not contain sarcophagi, which are however visible at the archaeological museum of Tarquinia, which I highly recommend. (Original) Interessantissima necropoli etrusca situata in una collina verdissima e con tanti ulivi. Le tombe più o meno affrescate non contengono i sarcofagi, che sono però visibili al museo archeologico di Tarquinia, che consiglio vivamente.

(Translated by Google) The necropolis is a true historical jewel, but it deserves an improvement in services to better accommodate the high number of tourists and school groups. It would be advisable to increase the number of bathrooms, which are often insufficient at peak times. The guided tours, although interesting, should be better calibrated according to the age of the students: more dynamic routes, with fewer verbal explanations and the addition of laboratory activities under the wooden gazebos would make the experience more engaging and effective. Furthermore, a service with microphone and earphones would improve listening, given that the guides' voices tend to get lost in the open space and in the crowd. (Original) La necropoli è un vero gioiello storico, ma meriterebbe un potenziamento dei servizi per accogliere al meglio l’alto numero di turisti e scolaresche. Sarebbe opportuno aumentare il numero dei bagni, spesso insufficienti nei momenti di maggiore affluenza. Le visite guidate, seppur interessanti, dovrebbero essere meglio calibrate in base all’età degli studenti: percorsi più dinamici, con meno spiegazioni verbali e l’aggiunta di attività laboratoriali sotto i gazebi in legno renderebbero l’esperienza più coinvolgente ed efficace. Inoltre, un servizio con microfono e auricolari migliorerebbe l’ascolto, dato che la voce delle guide tende a perdersi nello spazio aperto e tra la folla.

(Translated by Google) Really interesting and well looked after place. Audio guides via APP (free) are essential, otherwise the visit makes no sense. (Original) Luogo veramente interessante e ben curato. Fondamentali le audioguide tramite APP (gratuita), altrimenti la visita non ha senso.

(Translated by Google) It is a very well-kept and quiet place even when crowded. The restoration works inside the tombs and outside are well done and make the visit suitable for all ages (Original) È un luogo molto curato e tranquillo anche in piena affluenza. I lavori di restauro interni alle tombe e allesterno sono fatti bene e agevolano la visita adatta a tutte le età

(Translated by Google) It's nice for everyone to know about the history of our ancestors....and Monterozzi must maintain this legacy...among other things, it is always well kept...I had visited it 20 years ago...and I gladly returned... (Original) la storia dei nostri avi é bello ke sia a conoscenza di tutti....e Monterozzi deve mantenere quedta eredità...tra l altro è sempre ben tenuto ...io lo avevo visitato 20 anni fa ...e sono tornata volentieri ...

(Translated by Google) Dating back to the 5th century BC, a funeral banquet and other figures engaged in games in honor of the deceased are represented (Original) Risalente al V secolo a.C., sono rappresentati un banchetto funebre e altre figure impegnate in giochi in onore del defunto

(Translated by Google) This Etruscan site is beautiful, also well maintained. Worth visiting when it's not too hot. (Original) Bellissimo questo sito Etrusco, anche ben mantenuto. Da visitare quando non fa troppo caldo.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful medieval palace in the heart of the historic center. (Original) Bel Palazzo medievale nel cuore del centro storico.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful visit to the fresco room. Thanks to the two guides and their enthusiasm for local history. (Original) Bellissima visita alla sala degli affreschi. Grazie alle due guide e al loro entusiasmo per la storia locale.

(Translated by Google) The historic center of Tarquinia is very beautiful (Original) Il centro storico di Tarquinia è molto bello

(Translated by Google) It is rare to find a municipal building with an entrance hall where frescoes describe the medieval history of the municipality's government. A palace more to be visited as well as frequented for administrative needs. Well cared for and maintained with an architectural wound represented by the rear access staircase built without any criteria to safeguard the existing. The impressive municipal meeting room is also used as an events room. (Original) È raro trovare un palazzo comunale con una sala d ingresso ove gli affreschi descrivono la storia medievale del governo del comune. Un palazzo più da visitare oltre che frequentare per le necessità amministrative. Ben curato e mantenuto con una ferita architettonica rappresentata dalla scala di accesso posteriore realizzata senza alcun criterio di salvaguardia dell esistente. Imponente il salone delle adunanze comunali adibito anche a sala degli eventi.

(Translated by Google) Very dirty city. Cars badly parked everywhere. On Thursdays for lunch many places are closed. (Original) Città molto sporca. Macchine parcheggiate male ovunque. Al giovedì a pranzo molti locali Chiusi.

(Translated by Google) The palace is very beautiful but it is Tarquinia that overall deserves a stay to be visited. (Original) Molto bello il palazzo ma è Tarquinia che complessivamente merita un soggiorno per essere visitata.

Very unique experience underground Tarquinia. As I was explained by a very knowledgeable guide, this place represents the most realistic reconstruction of some of the most famous Etruscan tombs, homes, paintings and artifacts, all created by this former Mr. Omero, passed away in 2018, and whose life was unbelievably entwined with the Etruscan life, habits and artifacts. Definitely worth seeing.

Glad we visited since it is a UNESCO heritage site. Learned quite a bit about Etruscan culture and walking into the various tombs was an interesting experience, even if half were under renovations.

Incredible work of this artist, which reproduced with the ancient techniques, the art from the Etruscans

Just the experience you dreamed about

There is no museum on this location on google maps! No signage whatsoever at the necropolis even though we paid for the combi ticket. Typical Italian neglicence towards tourists

Fabulous!

Great cultural experience to understand Etruscan culture. I will recommend to visit the necropolis first to see the tombs and then Etruscopolis. Our guide was excellent and gave us a great tour of the place interacting with our two children very well.

(Translated by Google) Interesting co-cathedral, built in 1260, modified and enlarged several times, it was destroyed by fire in 1643 and immediately rebuilt. It was modified again in neoclassical style and further enlarged at the end of the 19th century. It still retains the apse, the related frescoes and the original high altar (16th century). The frescoes are attributed to Pastura. Of interest are the organ, entirely mechanical made by the Umbrian Morettini family, and two canvases by Giacinto Brandi. (Original) Concattedrale interessante, edificata nel 1260, più volte modificata ed ampliata, fu distrutta da un incendio nel 1643 e subito ricostruita. Fu nuovamente modificata in stile neoclassico e ulteriormente ampliata sul finire del 1800. Conserva ancora l'abside, i relativi affreschi e l'altare maggiore originari (XVI sec.). Gli affreschi sono attribuiti al Pastura. Di interesse sono l'organo, interamente meccanico realizzato dalla famiglia umbra Morettini, e due tele di Giacinto Brandi.

(Translated by Google) Nice, especially the frescoes in the presbytery, but there are definitely nicer churches in Tarquinia. (Original) Ładnie, szczególnie freski w prezbiterium,ale zdecydowanie są w Tarquinii ładniejsze kościoły.

(Translated by Google) Tarquinia has a thousand wonderful churches, and this one is honestly not in my top 5. Maybe not even in the top 10, but it's a matter of taste: too baroque inside. In addition to the famous Santa Maria in castello, go and visit San Martino, San Francesco, San Giovanni, or the tiny churches of the Annunziata, San Salvatore and San Giacomo. (Original) Tarquinia ha mille chiese stupende, e questa sinceramente non è nella mia top 5. Forse neanche nella top 10,a è questione di gusti: troppo baroccheggiante all'interno. Oltre alla famosa Santa Maria in castello, andate a visitare San Martino, San Francesco, san Giovanni, o le minuscole chiese dell'Annunziata, san Salvatore e san Giacomo.

(Translated by Google) The new lighting gives luster to the fresco by Pastura above and next to the main altar. The chapel on the left has also been restored. The chapel of the Blessed Sacrament to the left of the left nave is also worth a visit. (Original) La nuova illuminazione dà lustro all'affresco del Pastura sopra e a fianco dell'altare maggiore. Anche la cappella di sinistra è stata restaurata. Merita una visita anche la cappellina del Santissimo a sinistra della navata di sinistra.

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful, I never fail to go every time I go to Tarquinia, even the new parish priest is very kind. For the first time in many years that I have been going, the Rosary was recited before the Mass. (Original) Molto bello ,non manco mai di andare ogni volta che vado a Tarquinia ,anche il nuovo parroco molto gentile . Per la prima volta dopo tanti anni che vado è stato recitato il Rosario prima della Messa .

(Translated by Google) Very particular placed in a beautiful context. A visit to Tarquinia is recommended. In particular the archaeological museum (Original) Molto particolare inserito in un bel contesto. Si consiglia la visita a Tarquinia. In particolare del museo archeologico

(Translated by Google) Truly absurd, I am an invalid with a wheelchair, I won't be able to attend my nephew's confirmation because there is no slide to enter. (Original) Veramente assurdo io invalida con carrozzina, non potrò assistere alla cresima di mio nipote perché non esiste uno scivolo x entrare

(Translated by Google) First of all, you don't pay for tickets for Porta Castello. Medieval Tarquinia had a fantastic city wall. All the access gates to the city were with three doors one distant from the other. Between one gate and the other there was a stretch of road that ended in a funnel or had sharp curves so that the attackers found themselves within easy reach of the defenders who from the top of the walls unloaded boiling oil, pitch, stones and any other type of material. Castle gate depicted in your photo is, in reality, the second gate located near the Torrione di Matilde di Canossa. The first gate is located near the Church of Santa Maria in Castello, the Teresa and last one was the real entrance to the city. The Church and the entire area of ​​the doors are called Castello because it is said that Matilda of Canossa had a Castle in that area and that she came to Tarquinia to deal with matters of great interest. I don't have photos on my phone but I can send them to you from the computer whenever you want them. (Original) Innanzitutto non si pagano biglietti per Porta Castello. Tarquinia medievale aveva una cinta muraria fantastica. Tutte le porte di accesso alla città erano con tre porte una distante dall' altra. Tra una porta e l'altra c'era un tratto di strada che finiva ad imbuto o era con curve a stringere in modo che gli assalitori si trovavano a facile presa dei difensori che dall' alto delle mura scaricavano olio bollente, pece, sassi e qualsiasi altro tipo di materiale. Porta castello raffigurata nella vostra foto è, in realtà, la seconda porta situata vicino al Torrione di Matilde di Canossa. La prima porta è situata vicino alla Chiesa di Santa Maria in Castello, la Teresa ed ultima era il vero ingresso alla città. La Chiesa e tutta la zona delle porte si chiamano in Castello perché si dice che Matilda di Canossa avesse un Castello in quella zona e che lei veniva a Tarquinia per derimere questioni di grande interesse. Non ho foto sul cellulare ma Ve le posso mandare dal Computer quando le volete.

(Translated by Google) Very nice place, we went there to see the characteristic living nativity scene and while they were waiting for the performance we visited these places located in Tarquinia! (Original) Posto carinissimo ci siamo stati per vedere il caratteristico presepe vivente e mentre aspettavano la rappresentazione abbiamo visitato questi luoghi che si trovano a Tarquinia !

(Translated by Google) Porta di Castello is an ancient gate in the walls of Tarquinia, which allows you to visit the church of Santa Maria di Castello. The passage is free and the visit to the Romanesque church from 1100 is free. The door and the church are worth a visit (Original) Porta di Castello è un'antica porta delle mura di Tarquinia, che permette di andare a visitare la chiesa di santa Maria di Castello. È gratuito il passaggio ed è gratuita la visita alla chiesa romanica del 1100. La porta e la chiesa meritano una visita

(Translated by Google) It's a magnificent place... almost magical in my opinion. In the historic center, it leads to the beautiful church of Santa Maria in Castello (not always open to the public). Beautiful during the day, special at night. (Original) È un posto magnifico...quasi magico a mio avviso. Nel centro storico, porta alla bellissima chiesa di Santa Maria in Castello (non sempre aperta al pubblico). Bella di giorno, speciale di notte.

(Translated by Google) I think that this passage between two walls is one of the most beautiful places in Lazio (Original) Penso che questo passaggio fra due mura sia uno dei posti più belli del Lazio

(Translated by Google) Leaning against the circular tower, it is part of a bayonet defense system with a square tower and walkway between two high walls; known as the "resechata" was wanted by Cardinal G. Vitelleschi (15th century) to exclude the castle from the city undergoing urban expansion and renewal. from the wall walkway which closes at 12.30 you can admire the whole city, going down from the door we have the circular tower and the splendid tallest tower in Tarquinia about 45 metres, to be admired and to enter and visit Santa Maria di Castello, splendid and Romanesque. (Original) Addossata al torrione a pianta circolare, fa parte di un sistema difensivo a baionetta con torre quadrata e camminamento tra due alti muri; nota come la “resechata” fu voluta dal cardinale G. Vitelleschi (sec. XV) per escludere castello dalla città in fase di espansione e rinnovamento urbanistico. dal camminamento murario che chiude alle ore 12.30 si può ammirare tutta la città, scendendo dalla porta abbiamo la torre circolare e la splendida torre più alta di Tarquinia circa 45 metri, da ammirare e da entrare a visitare Santa Maria di Castello, splendida e romanica.

(Translated by Google) It is one of the most beautiful points of the medieval walls of Tarquinia. At the end of the road is the tower of Matilde di Canossa and the church of Santa Maria in Castello (Original) È uno dei più bei punti delle mura medioevali di Tarquinia. In fondo alla strada si trova la torre di Matilde di Canossa e la chiesa di Santa Maria in Castello

Not worth the walk.

(Translated by Google) Outside the walls of Tarquinia, along a walk that runs alongside a former chemical industry and the former slaughterhouse, there is this fountain, cute and ancient, which immerses us in an agricultural past, where life flows at a different speed. (Original) Fuori le mura di Tarquinia, lungo una passeggiata che costeggia una ex industria chimica e l'ex macello, c'è questo fontanile, carino e antico, che ci fa immergere in un passato agricolo, dove la vita scorre con un'altra velocità.

(Translated by Google) Going down on the left going down from Porta Castello leaning against the rock of the fortress is the Fontana Nova covered by grass and a gate that appears neglected. The structure that covers the 12th century Fountain is unique in Tuscia and consists of a Mascone covered by a barrel vault supported by Archi Colonni and Capitals where there were six spouts from which water flowed now walled up. (Original) Scendendo sulla sinistra scendendo da Porta Castello addossate alla roccia della rocca si trova la Fontana Nova ricoperta da erbace e da una cancellata appare trascurata . La struttura che ricopre la Fontana del XII secolo e unica nella Tuscia ed e costituita da un Mascone coperto da una volta a botte sorretto da Archi Colonni e e Capitelli dove c'erano sei cannelle da cui fuorisciva acqua ora murate.

(Translated by Google) Fountain from the 12th century! It is well preserved, well maintained, beautiful and interestingly designed (Original) Fontanna z XII wieku ! Jest dobrze zachowana, dobrze utrzymana, jest piękna i ciekawie pomyślana

(Original) È bellissimo ci sono delle grotte: Ancora più belle ma non sono visitabili, quindi si può fare ancora più bello io sono entrato nelle grotte belle,belle rende tele visitabili.

(Translated by Google) Between S. Maria in Castello and Fontana Nova in the evening the place is enchanting.... everything seems magical. Absolutely worth seeing (Original) Tra S. Maria in Castello e Fontana Nova di sera il Luogo per incanto .... sembra tutto magico. Da vedere assolutamente

(Original) Il fontanile di epoca medioevale denominato fontana vecchia e la successiva aggiunta di un nuovo fontanile (fontana nova ) sono stati costruiti alla fine di un acquedotto etrusco.

Nice. Lots of stairs. Well preserved. BUT only half of the necropolis is open to visitors due to PNRR renovation. they didn't tell us at the ticket office.

Amazing Day trip from Rome with Scoot Around Rome , perfect timing, convenient best way to enjoy this and the other necropolis . Weather was amazing and we had time to see all the tombs.Very happy, a must !! thank you

It's worth a visit if you are in the area

Wonderful archeological site. This was the second time I took our children here and It went really well. Children really like to check every tomb, go down the stairs, push the button that turns the light on and admire the paintings. The only thing is that this time the bar was closed but drinking water was available at the entrance.

Absolutely unique archaeological site. Really worth the visit. Unfortunately, around 3/4 of the site and around 2/3 of the most famous tombs (including the most famous, of the Leopards) are under renovation for “at least” more 6 months and currently not accessible. I did not find this information anywhere before driving here.

It's a wonderful place rich in Italian history! Bravo to the Tuscany's wisdom and architecture! It will live for years and years!...earn for years and years!...be enjoyed for years and years! Glory to God, the author of all creation 🙏🙏🙏

The place is worth visiting. A green hill overlooking the fields outside the city. Filled with well preserved chambers/ tombs what are dug into the ground and "visitable". The admission which normally is just €8 for adults, was free on the 1st sunday of the month. Signs tell in italian and english the story behind each of the persons to which the tombs are devoted to. The simple architecture of the place, the scenery and the fact that a lot of work has been put in place to make this visitor friendly even for everyone make it certainly worth your time.

Beautiful setting with a variety of activities for all ages and levels, very high safety standards and attentive well-trained/experienced staff. Advanced booking is advisable (so that the park is never overcrowded) otherwise you could have a bit of a wait.

Great experience with children. The staff is very helpful at all times. The activities are a lot of fun and your family can have a great two hours.

Absolutely amazing place! Staff made the experience even better, so helpful and professional!

Great adventurers!

Fantastic parc with friendly and supportive staff

Very good place 👍

Fun, just fun

We spent an amazing evening at Etruscaia with superb food, superb wine and outstanding hospitality by Stefano. Absolutely worth the travel. Also, I'd suggest you inquire personally, if you don't find the right experience described on the website. For us, Stefano adjusted to make it fit perfectly with our plans. We had the best day of our stay in Lazio! :)

A truly fantastic experience! Everything about our visit was superb – the host, the homemade food, and especially the wine were all absolutely incredible. Such a beautiful place with an incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and welcoming host. Stefano knows everything there is to know about wines and how to grow and produce the best wine! Many different wines and something for every occasion! Highly recommend!

Amazing and beautiful experience! Definitely a must do. Stefano’s love for what he does translated in everything he does. He cooked for us which was one of the best meals ever. The way he spoke about the wines and his winery was with such passion and love. I thoroughly enjoyed it there. Thx Stefano

An experience we'll never forget. This place is absolutely wonderful — amazing food, incredible wine, and most of all, a genuine and fantastic human being who guides you through everything with warmth and passion. Before visiting Stefano, we knew nothing about wine. He walked us through the entire process in a way that was both educational and welcoming. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at ease. He treated us not like customers, but like old friends. The food was outstanding — we were served vegetarian dishes that were hands down the best vegetarian food we’ve ever had. And don’t worry about leaving hungry — Stefano is anything but stingy. The portions were generous, and the flavors unforgettable. Stefano himself is as much a part of the experience as the wine and food. He has a kind, genuine soul and a gift for connecting with people. The wine he served — made by him — was of outstanding quality, and honestly, shockingly affordable for what you get. This is a place where you truly get value for your money — a private guide, a delicious journey through local flavors, and the kind of hospitality you’ll remember forever. Whether you're a tourist (like my girlfriend and I) or a local, do not hesitate to visit Stefano. You won't regret it. Thank you for everything, Stefano!

We discovered Etruscaia by chance on Google Maps, and we couldn’t be happier that we did! Our visit with Stefano, the owner and host, turned out to be one of the most memorable experiences of our trip. Stefano was incredibly welcoming and easy to communicate with via WhatsApp, where we quickly arranged our visit. He prepared a delicious, homemade light lunch paired with exquisite wines. The fresh vegetables from the garden were the star ingredients in every dish—an absolute delight after five days of Italian cuisine without fresh greens. Stefano took his time to give us a detailed tour, explaining organic wine production and sharing insights about the local area. He went above and beyond by providing us with local tips on other places to eat and visit, adding even more value to our to our experience. We highly recommend to visit Etruscaia to anyone visiting the area!

Dear Lamberto and Olga, Your life's journey has created this wonderful place, food, and wine. From the moment we arrived, we knew we wouldn't want to leave. It was evening when we arrived, coming straight from the Rome airport. We were greeted by Lola the dog, whose barks let you know we had arrived. Olga opened the gate and called for Lamberto. We had only planned to stop by for a quick wine tasting, but what we found was so much more than we could have ever imagined. We had a brief but amazing conversation and even helped you load some grape boxes that were being shipped to a client late in the evening. Afterward, Lamberto and Olga invited us into their home to share wine and a meal, without any expectation of payment. We had other plans and a hotel booked, but we ended up staying late into the night, enjoying an incredible meal and superb wine while getting to know two wonderful people. We promised we would return, and we did. Two weeks later, we came back to stay with Lamberto and Olga. Our visit was during the harvest, and we got up early to join in the manual grape picking in the vineyards. We learned so much, and it's truly an experience that is hard to describe in words. The days flew by, and we found ourselves not wanting to leave. But the time came to go home. We said goodbye, reflected on our amazing time together, and of course, bought a lot of wine to take with us. Most importantly, we left with two new friends who helped us reconnect with what's truly meaningful in life. Thank you! We hope to visit again soon. Noya & Asaf

12/10 Amazing food, amazing wine, super beautiful place and a really nice host. Would recommend!😁

(Translated by Google) Tarquinia's medieval walls, almost entirely preserved, still guard the town with their imposing towers. Among these, the circular tower, known as Matilda of Canossa's Tower, deserves a special mention because it hosted the countess in 1080. Restored in the fifteenth century, the tower was flanked by a fortified gate and a walkway connecting it to the castle. Nearby stands the Romanesque church of Santa Maria in Castello, dating back to the early Middle Ages. (Original) La cinta muraria medievale di Tarquinia, quasi interamente conservata, custodisce ancora il borgo con le sue imponenti torri. Fra queste da ammirare il torrione circolare, detto di Matilde di Canossa per aver ospitato la contessa nel 1080. Restaurato nel quindicesimo secolo, la torre fu affiancata da una porta fortificata e da un camminamento che la collegava al castello. Nei pressi sorge la romanica chiesa di Santa Maria in Castello d'origine altomedievale.

(Translated by Google) Very suggestive architectural site which offers the opportunity of a view from above of S. Maria in Castello or of the entire city walls and towers. The walkway, which is accessed by a staircase along the belvedere, allows access to the actual tower. The tower is located near the door, actually a double door, which leads to S. Maria in Castello. (Original) Sito architettonico molto suggestivo che offre l'opportunità di una veduta dall'alto di S. Maria in Castello o su tutta la cinta muraria e le torri della città. Il camminamento, cui si accede da una scala lungo il belvedere, consente l'accesso al torrione vero e proprio. Il torrione si trova vicino alla porta, in realtà una doppia porta, che conduce a S. Maria in Castello.

(Translated by Google) We went up to take some photos with a newlywed couple and I must say that the view both on the sea side and on the countryside side is wonderful, the walls and the two towers can be visited (plus the second one which also has stairs to go up to the top). The girl who controls the entrance and exit from the site is extremely kind. Recommended to anyone visiting Tarquinia. (Original) Siamo saliti per fare un po’ di scatti con una coppia di sposi e devo dire che la vista sia lato mare che lato campagna è stupendo,le mura e le due torri sono visitabili (più la seconda la quale ha anche scale per salire in cima). La ragazza che controlla l’entrata e l’uscita dal sito è estremamente gentile. Consigliato a chiunque visiti Tarquinia.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful walk along thousand-year-old walls, the route is very evocative....it only takes a few minutes for the tour, but you can enjoy a beautiful view of the town... Free entry. (Original) Una bella passeggiata su mura millenarie, molto suggestivo il percorso....bastano pochi minuti per il giro, ma si gode di una bella vista sul paese... Ingresso gratuito.

(Translated by Google) impressive. something that an Italian should ABSOLUTELY SEE that a tourist should never miss. at night, wonderfully lit, it is a spectacle (Original) impressionante. qualcosa che un italiano dovrebbe ASSOLUTAMENTE VEDERE che un turista non dovrebbe mai perdere. di notte, meravigliosamente illuminata é uno spettacolo

What a treasure! I definitely recommend this amazing museum. It probably hosts the richest collection of Etruscan art. You will dig into the past discovering their cults and their skills in working metals and rocks. The ticket (combined with the tombs is only 10 euros). The beautiful building of the museum is itself worth the price of the visit. I am not giving 5 stars because unluckily, the pieces at the museum are not well displayed. The narrative during the visit and the descriptions of the objects are missing. But worst of all, I didn’t see any indications in English. I’m saying this as an Italian, sorry but this is not acceptable in 2021!

Too little info in English. Such precious items from the tombs, and so weirdly organized, with no logic or attention to details. Just looks like the artifacts were just placed there like into some storage. Some unwanted renaissance art exhibitions when people came to see Etruscan history! And the price combined with Necropolis - you cannot pick only one. Some strange ladies are only sitting in the museum rooms, and when you greet them, they are just staring speechless. For 10 euros ladies on the ticket desk can be more nice and at least know numbers in English. Looks like the museum is created for the Italian schoolkids who anyway would rather go to McDonald's instead of that.

Lovely ancient town. Worth a visit

One of my favorite museums in Italy. It features a very large collection of Etruscan and Roman sarcophagi and funeral objects. Don't miss it!

This museum has a lot of finds of Etruscan civilians. It also has some greek vases. The informations are clear and it has more than one floors with expositions. It's very complete.

The artefacts are wonderful, however too little info in English, very little explanation of details in English, quite expensive. Bizarre ticket vendor at the Necropolis, verbally abusive. Necropolis =disappointing, Museum in Tarquinia =nice. Overall, disappointing, discouraging.

Very nice museum, bit be sure to first visit the burial chambers 1.5 km down the road to know where all the stuff came from

A nice area to walk and enjoy a drink or eat.

Fontana del Vanvitelli, one of the most important and best preserved monuments in Civitavecchia, is worth visiting.

Cool site to see :) visit it

We walked past it without noticing at first, as it's built into wharf wall and there wasn't any water in it...

It doesn’t work!

Dry, no water in the fountain. This us a must miss

Ancient beautiful memory..

(Translated by Google) The church was built between the end of the century. XIII and the beginning of the XIV, it seems following a miracle of St. Francis, near the place where an oratory dedicated to the Trinity stood and was always officiated by the Minor Franciscan friars. A characteristic is the coexistence of Gothic elements (particularly inside) and Romanesque elements (especially in the facade). The division of the facade into three sectors brings the internal one into three naves: in the middle sector, higher than the others, is the main portal, made up of four pointed arches. (Original) La chiesa venne edificata tra la fine del sec. XIII e l’inizio del XIV, sembra in seguito ad un miracolo di S. Francesco, nei pressi del luogo in cui sorgeva un oratorio dedicato alla Trinità e fu sempre officiata dai frati Minori Francescani. Una caratteristica è la coesistenza di elementi gotici (in particolare all’interno) e romanici (soprattutto nella facciata). La suddivisione in tre settori della facciata riporta quella interna in tre navate: nel settore di mezzo, più alto degli altri, è il portale principale, costituito da quattro archi ogivali.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful little church, simple and sober in the Franciscan style. The façade is also beautiful with its simplicity. (Original) Bella chiesetta, semplice, sobria in stile francescano. Bella anche la facciata con la sua semplicità.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful church where, over time, different styles come together, from Romanesque to Gothic. The final appearance is, in my opinion, a little cold even if the renunciation of more decorations is certainly intentional. Still worth a visit, even if short. (Original) Bella chiesa dove si incontrano, col passare del tempo, stili diversi, dal romanico al gotico. L'aspetto finale risulta, a mio parere, un po' freddo anche se la rinuncia a maggiori decorazioni è sicuramente voluta. Vale comunque una visita, anche se breve.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful church from the 13th century, which we saw from the road as we drove through the town. It's worth stopping here for a while. (Original) Piękny kościół z XIII w., który dostrzegliśmy z drogi, gdy przejeżdżaliśmy przez miasteczko. Warto tu zatrzymać się na chwilkę.

(Translated by Google) Despite appearances, it is not a Roman aqueduct, but it was built between 1709 and 1714. Long stretches of it can be admired on the main road. 1 bis towards Monte Romano (Original) malgrado le apparenze, non è un acquedotto romano, ma è stato costruito tra il 1709 e il 1714 se ne possono ammirare lunghi tratti sulla s.s. 1 bis in direzione monte romano
