Vulci Castle

This old abbey, then transformed into a medieval castle, is today home of the National Archaeological Museum of Vulci, in which there are interesting collections of findings that cover the arch of time from 2500 B.C. to the 1st century B.C. They come from the necropolises nearby, and there's a bit of everything: vases, urns, and entire tomb chests, including the chest of Panatenaica, a very ancient sepulchre, dating back all the way to the 7th century B.C. You will also find a great number of ceramics coming from various places: from Greek-Oriental to Corinthian, all locations to demonstrate how Etruscan art received influence from all of the Mediterranean. 

Exiting from the tollbooth, to get to the other side of the Fiora River, pass over the very famous Vulci Bridge, Etruscan, Roman, and medieval. How so? Easy: With bare Etruscan materials, the pillars of the bridge were constructed during the period of the Roman republic; it was then reconstructed during the Middle Ages. We can without a doubt disclaim the legend according to which this structure, also called "Devil's Bridge", was built in one night by the demon: in reality it took at least 1500 years to build it!
