Vetralla — Necropoli Rupestre di Norchia

Lazio

Norchia's Etruscan tombs are carved directly into the tufo cliffs of a small gorge, their temple-style facades half-reclaimed by vegetation and rarely crowded. A path drops from the plateau above down into the gorge, passing dozens of rock-cut chambers along the way.
