Soriano nel Cimino. Necropolis of Corviano

The necropolis of Corviano in Soriano nel Cimino  lies to the left of the Martelluzzo stream in a place inhabited since prehistoric times.

It can be seen from the numerous underground houses excavated into the tuff walls, the remains of the neolithic huts and the remains of megalithic walls.

There are numerous interesting 'pestarole', i.e. boulders with grooves placed at different heights in which the grapes were crushed and the juice collected.

Scattered around the grounds there are graves in the shape of a sarcophagus or covered with slabs of lava stone in human form.
