I went to Cerveteri - Necropolis through a bus ride to the town, and a relatively short walk from the terminal to the site. Firsty, these are perhaps the oldest monuments I've seen so far, and that really raised my excitement to see the place. According to most reviews, they say that Cerveteri is the better among the two sites inscribed (but I was told that there is another Etruscan Necropolis that is not included however). The paintings are highly interesting and decorative, and suggest how rich their culture as a people were back in their time.

Its interesting how the Etruscans really made a great deal in preparing a planned city of the dead for their departed ones. One way of looking at this site is to compare it with the burial pyramids in Egypt, among others.

Over all, I felt that the Etruscan Necropolis is quite a surprise! I guess, this is one of the few experiences where in there is so much to enjoy in a site that isn't living/alive.
