TUSCANY'S SCENIC DRIVES: THE PICTURESQUE ETRUSCAN COAST

Nevertheless, one of the main reasons why people love visiting this area is the presence of the many archeological sites (pic n°2)(pic n°4) (pic n°6) and museums of great interest. In fact, the name given to this coastline is not accidental: this area used to be inhabited by the Etruscan people (starting from the ninth century B.C.), and many archeological remains have been found here.
A not-to-be-missed destination is the Necropolis of Baratti (pic n°2), featuring lots of Etruscan-time tombs and built right in front of the sea, near the village of Populonia (pic n°6). Also, you should visit the Etruscan museums in Piombino, Rosignano, and Cecina, where you will have the opportunity to go in depth of the history, habits, and lifestyle of these ancient people.
