Chiusi

Built around an Etruscan hilltop settlement on the edge of the Val di Chiana, Chiusi grew into a Tuscan town where antiquity remains central to its identity. Known in the ancient world as Clusium, it was an important city of Etruria and is associated with the Etruscan ruler Lars Porsena. The National Archaeological Museum of Chiusi displays Etruscan funerary finds, while underground tombs in the area testify to the scale of its necropolises. Chiusi Cathedral, dedicated to San Secondiano, anchors the historic centre, and Lake Chiusi lies nearby amid the cultivated lowlands.
