Etruscan sites are archaeological locations in central Italy that reveal the culture and civilization of the Etruscans, an ancient people who thrived from the 8th to the 3rd century BCE. Key sites include Tarquinia, known for its elaborate tombs adorned with frescoes, and Veii, which showcases impressive urban planning and architecture. These sites provide valuable insights into Etruscan society, religion, and art. The Etruscan language, inscriptions, and artifacts found at these locations help historians understand their influence on later Roman culture. Preservation efforts continue to protect these important remnants of Etruscan heritage.
