Parco di Veio — Isola Farnese
Lazio
Veii was a powerful Etruscan city-state destroyed by Rome in 396 BC after a ten-year siege. Today the plateau above the Cremera gorge is a regional park of ancient roads, Etruscan rock-cut tombs and medieval churches built on Etruscan foundations — all accessible as a easy half-day from Rome.
