Located near the Tyrrhenian Sea, Tarquinia, the birthplace of the Etruscan civilization, maintains a historical continuum from the famous Etruscan legend of Tagete till today.
The city, influential and renowned in the Etruscan era, was perched atop the Civita hill.
This location was the hometown of three of Rome’s seven kings, namely Tarquinio Prisco, Numa Pompilius, and Tarquinius Superbus. Post its destruction, the modern town was constructed on the nearby hill.
Medieval Tarquinia flourished again, reflected in the towering edifices, the understated yet classy Romanesque churches, and the robust walls. This tour mandates a minimum of 6 travellers. Note that all museums in Italy remain closed on Mondays for day off.
