Tarquinia était la plus importante cité étrusque du VIIe siècle avant J.-C. et est particulièrement célèbre pour la nécropole de Monterozzi (également appelée Necropoli di Tarquinia), un ancien cimetière pré-romain qui abrite plus de deux cents tombes peintes sous ses monticules verdoyants. Vous explorerez d'imposantes salles creusées dans la roche, imitant des maisons étrusques (Nécropole signifie littéralement « Cité des Morts ») et admirerez les couleurs vives utilisées par les Étrusques pour peindre des paysages, des animaux exotiques et des scènes de la vie quotidienne. Grâce à notre guide expert et passionné, vous découvrirez les secrets des tombeaux les plus beaux et les plus fascinants : le tombeau des Léopards, avec ses scènes de banquet qui illustrent l’incroyable liberté des femmes étrusques, le tombeau de la Chasse et de la Pêche, qui représente les activités typiques de l’aristocratie, le tombeau du Guerrier, où sont représentés les rites funéraires (y compris les jeux cruels qui ont inspiré les combats de gladiateurs ultérieurs)… En parcourant les charmantes ruelles de Tarquinia, parsemées de tours médiévales et de splendides palais, vous atteindrez le Palais Vitelleschi, qui abrite au Musée national étrusque les trésors les plus précieux de la ville antique : sarcophages sculptés, fresques, bijoux en or et en pierres précieuses, et les célèbres chevaux ailés !
