Chiusi
Chiusi was one of the major Etruscan centers of inland Italy and still hides ancient hydraulic tunnels beneath its streets. The cathedral, archaeological museums, noble palaces, catacombs, tombs and the so-called Labyrinth of Porsenna create a route where legend and archaeology can be kept carefully separate.
