This settlement, open to visitors by appointment only, is known thanks to the discovery of two temple complexes both of which contained many varieties of material evidence from the clay offerings to the well known sculpture group with Tideo and Melanippo who were to decorate the front façade of Temple A.

Equally important are the plates inscribed with gold, two in Etruscan and two in Phoenician originating from Temple B and they testify to the excellent relationship between Caere and Carthage towards the end of the 6th century.

While much of the Pyrgi material is currently preserved at the National Etruscan Museum at Villa Guilia in Rome, many exhibits from the excavation of the two temples can be found in the small Antiquarium near the castle of Santa Severa. Despite it being of modest dimensions, it represents and excellent scientific and didactic support to the visit of the archaeological area.

The Antiquarium is open on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday from 9am to 1pm FREE ENTRY.

The visit to the Sacred Area by appointment only. Please contact 0766 570194
