The Necropolis of Banditaccia is an incredible Etruscan site! There are over 1,000 tombs, a small section of which is open to the public. Dating from the 9th century BCE, the necropolis was built by the inhabitants of Caisra (modern Cerveteri)

My favourite megalithic arch so far…part of a Roman defensive wall in the town of Segni, Italy. Worth the steep walk but take water not lipgloss. Was quite disappointed at myself when I looked in my rucksack 😂
