Grave tombs in the woods near Populonia, Italy

An etruscan necropolis situated on a hillside in the Parco Archeologico di Baratti e Populonia in Tuscany in Italy. The Archaeological Park of Baratti and Populonia, opened on 11th July 1998, houses one of the most important contexts of Etruscan civilisation, which owes its own commercial and cultural development principally to the steel and iron activity. The tombs in the rocks have been robbed by grave-robbers.
