Perugia - Tomb of the Volumnii

East of Perugia, 1km/0.75mi before Ponte San Giovanni (189m/624ft), is a modern building which houses the entrance to the underground Tomb of the Volumnii (Ipogeo dei Volumni), one of the finest tombs in Etruria, dating from the second century B.C. It imitates the plan of an ancient house, with nine chambers grouped round a central space, which contain urns with extraordinarily expressive carvings.
