Tarquinia
Tarquinia, situated 90 Km. North of Rome and 6 km. from the seashore, was founded (according to the tradition) by Tarconte in the XIII or XII century b.C. It was one of the most important and most prosperous centres of the Etruscan civilization and still today can boast one of the largest collections of Etruscan exhibits coming either from Tarquinia and the surrounding area or from the famous Monterozzi Necropolis (see the National Museum of Archeology housed in the Vitelleschi Palace, an outstanding Gothic-Renaissance building).
Tarquinia is exceptionally rich in chamber tombs with paintings that fully display the painting technique used by the Etruscan people from the VI to the II century B.C. (Tomb of the bulls, Tomb of Hunting and Fishing, Tomb of Jugglers, Tomb of Leopard etc.)
Also the medieval Tarquinia (the ancient Corneto) is extremely remarkable: the historic centre is still encircled by large parts of the town wall symbolically represented by the high tower facing the Church of Santa Maria in Castello. The city proudly displays many other wonderful Romanesque churches along with the grandiose building of the Town Hall.
