Sutri. The Necropolis

Sutri. The Necropolis

in Sutri, along the ancient Via Cassia for a stretch of about 180 meters, you can see this ancient Roman necropolis built between the first and fourth centuries AD.

The graves are dug out of tufa on different levels and have different forms comprising both: a one room, double room, with entrance hall, with a niche for funeral urns.

The 64 tombs have been looted since the Middle Ages and today the reading of their actual shape is very difficult.
