COOL THINGS IN JAPAN YOU MUST SEE

The Roman countryside has been a refuge from big city Rome for millennia and the allure of Rome’s countryside has only increased with time.

Here are some amazing sites that you can visit right around Rome in the beautiful Roman countryside.

The park hides 50 km of underground tunnels that were created by the Etruscans, skilled hydraulic engineers, to exploit the waterways in the region. Tunnels are accessible to the most adventurous explorers.

Veio Park

There are remains of the foundations of temples, one of which is dedicated to the “Apollo of Veio”. Some of the statues found in the park are kept at the National Etruscan Museum in Rome.

In the countryside north-west of Rome, a few kilometers from the coast of the Tyrrhenian Sea, is the largest necropolis of the whole Mediterranean Sea, the Etruscan Necropolis of Cerveteri.

The Necropolis of Cerveteri

The tombs are of different types and sizes: covered with mounds of earth or dug into the tender tuffaceous rock. The furnishings found in the tombs have been transferred to the Etruscan museums of Cerveteri, Rome, but also to important museums around the world.

In Italy, an “agriturismo” is usually defined as a farmhouse with accommodation and a restaurant, far from a residential area and surrounded by nature.

Eating at an Agriturismo

The farmhouse “Il Camoscio” in Ceri, a few kilometers from the sea, focuses its offer on homemade meat dishes, to be enjoyed in a room next to the fireplace or with a relaxing view of the Roman countryside.
