Central Italy's Viterbo province contains a dense concentration of Etruscan and Roman remains. This collection highlights the UNESCO-listed Monterozzi necropolis in Tarquinia, famous for its 4th-century BC frescoes, and the sprawling archaeological park of Vulci. It includes the rock-cut facades of Norchia, the Roman theater of Ferento, and the massive walls of Falerii Novi. These sites showcase the evolution of funerary architecture, urban planning, and hydraulic engineering from the 8th century BC through the Roman Imperial era.
