 * '''Etruscan Necropolis''' (''Necropoli della Banditaccia''). The main sight, and a quite remarkable one, is the necropolis Necropolis of the Etruscans. These were This was built on town planning principles similar to those for cities of the living and it is truly a 'city for the dead' to enjoy their afterlife.Many of the tombs, which are carved out of volcanic tuff rock, can be entered. They were designed in a similar way to the less permanent homes of the living, being divided up into several rooms. Many artifacts were left in the tombs to accompany the dead on their journey; those that were not pillaged before the authorities began to get a grip of the situation can be found in various musems in the region, most notably the [[Rome/North Center#See|Villa Giulia museum]] in Rome.[[Image:Major_tomb.jpg|thumb|A major tomb]]:As you drive to the entrance you will see that the area of tombs is really extensive. Much excavation is still being done and only a small part of the total area can presently be visited. Despite the proximity of Cerveteri to Rome and the importance of the site the Necropolis is not over-visited and a visit can be a pleasant and unhurried experience. Admission is 6 Euros. Under 18 and over 65 free of charge. There is a pleasant bar with outside tables and inexpensive snacks. *The Etruscan museum in the old town is also well worth a visit. [[Image:Inside_a_tomb.jpg|thumb|Inside a tomb]][[Image:Cippi.jpg|thumb|"Cippi": Etruscan phallic symbols indicating that the tomb occupants were male]]
