Veii
Veio
Veii was an important Etruscan city on a triangular tuff plateau north‑northwest of Rome, the seat of major temples and workshops and surrounded by substantial tuff stone walls. The archaeological area preserves temples, tombs, hydraulic galleries and street plans; its principal sanctuary lay at Portonaccio and the acropolis (Piazza d'Armi) dominated the settlement.

As it stood in 600 BC
What Veii looked like in its prime.
A broad triangular tuff plateau rimmed by steep cliffs and two small streams, ringed by high, thick ashlar tuff walls with gateways; atop the plateau clustered temple terraces and a citadel, temples of wood and stone with deep porches and orange‑red polychrome terracotta roof tiles and sculpted acroteria; low one‑storey houses and orthogonal streets around a central paved square with a stone‑lined cistern; open sanctuaries, workshops with kilns, and visible mouths of hand‑cut drainage galleries in the cliff.
