The Necropoli Etrusca di Castel d’Asso is located about 10km west of Viterbo in an area of Etruscan settlements in northen Lazio called Tuscia (see our Lazio Map). The site is said to be one of the best preserved Etruscan necropolis in Italy. The site is free to visit, and there is parking alongside the road for easy access.

The necropolis is dated to a period between the late 4th and 2nd century BC. Once you’ve parked, look for the road to your right, heading downhill for a bit before emerging into the sunlight with the first rock cut tombs to your right.
