Populonia was the only Etruscan city to be built on the coast, a location that contributed to the development of the port and made it a strategic Mediterranean crossroads, a place of commerce and maritime traffic, and an almost obligatory stopover for all ships travelling in the Mediterranean Sea. <!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->Ancient Populonia was located in a strategic position on one of the most popular trade routes in antiquity. The town was divided into two distinct nuclei: the upper part \u2013 the acropolis, i.e. the heart of the ancient town with its public and religious buildings, and the lower part, which was centred around the port and the industrial district, where metals were produced: copper from the Campigliese mines and iron from the island of Elba. <!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->Iron working began in Populonia during the mid-6th century BC. Previously, hematite (iron oxide) had been worked on the island of Elba, so much smoke being released from its iron furnaces that, unsurprisingly, it was known as &#8220;la fumosa\u201d (the smoky place). In the end, however, the Etruscans exhausted all of its resources needed to produce fuel, the island eventually being totally deforested. Thus, since it was no longer possible to produce iron in situ anymore, once the iron ore had been extracted from Elba, it was loaded onto ships and transported to the Gulf of Baratti, which was still densely wooded and where there was also coal to fire the iron furnaces. <!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->Over time, however, heaps of ferrous slag (leftover fused waste from the iron making process) piled up on the land surrounding the gulf, and even the ancient Etruscan necropolis of San Cerbone. The poorer social classes were buried in the piles of slag, while the aristocratic classes of the 4th-3rd century BC chose to reuse the old abandoned limestone quarries as a new burial area. Underground tombs were created by digging into the ancient quarry face, thus giving rise to the Necropolis of the Caves. Marked by red signs, the Cave Trail starts at the visitor centre, just beyond the Experimental Archaeology Centre at the entrance to the wood.<\/pee><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <\/div>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <\/div>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->    <\/div>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->    <\/div>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><\/div>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><\/p>\n<div class=\"accordion-item\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->    <\/p>\n<h3 class=\"accordion-header\" id=\"ndg-02\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->    <button class=\"accordion-button\" type=\"button\" data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\" data-bs-target=\"#collapse02\" aria-expanded=\"true\" aria-controls=\"collapse02\">2 &#8211; The Tomb of the Promotes and the Small Quarry<\/button><\/h3>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->    <\/p>\n<div id=\"collapse02\" class=\"accordion-collapse collapse\" aria-labelledby=\"ndg-02\" data-bs-parent=\"#accordion-list\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->    <\/p>\n<div class=\"accordion-body\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-list\" src=\"https:\/\/web.parchivaldicornia.app\/imgs\/padbep\/ndg\/02.jpg\" alt=\"Image preview\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <code><style>\r\n .player3822  .plyr__controls,\r\n .player3822 .StampAudioPlayerSkin{\r\n  border-radius: 10px;\r\n  overflow: hidden;\r\n }\r\n .player3822{\r\n  margin: 0 auto; }\r\n .player3822 .plyr__controls .plyr__controls {\r\n   border-radius: none;\r\n   overflow: visible;\r\n }\r\n .skin_default .player3822 .plyr__controls {\r\n   overflow: visible;\r\n }\r\n <\/style>\r\n<div class=\"skin_default\" id=\"skin_default\">\r\n  <div style=\"width:100%;--plyr-color-bg:#333\" class=\"h5ap_standard_player player3822\" \r\n  data-poster=\"https:\/\/web.parchivaldicornia.app\/wp-content\/plugins\/html5-audio-player\/shortcode\/player\/sticky-default.jpg\" \r\n  data-skin=\"default\" \r\n  data-title=\"Audio Title\" \r\n  data-song=\"https:\/\/web.parchivaldicornia.app\/audio\/padbep\/ndg\/en\/002.mp3\" \r\n  data-id=\"3822\" \r\n  data-options='{&quot;controls&quot;:[&quot;play&quot;,&quot;progress&quot;,&quot;duration&quot;,&quot;mute&quot;,&quot;volume&quot;,&quot;settings&quot;],&quot;seekTime&quot;:10,&quot;skin&quot;:&quot;default&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Audio Title&quot;,&quot;author&quot;:&quot;Author Name&quot;,&quot;disableDownload&quot;:false,&quot;fusionDownload&quot;:true,&quot;color&quot;:&quot;skyblue&quot;,&quot;background&quot;:&quot;#333&quot;,&quot;repeat&quot;:false,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;opt-1&quot;,&quot;autoplay&quot;:false,&quot;muted&quot;:false,&quot;disablePause&quot;:false,&quot;startTime&quot;:0}'>\r\n    <audio  playsinline preload=\"auto\" class=\"player3822\" id=\"player3822\">\r\n      <source src=\"https:\/\/web.parchivaldicornia.app\/audio\/padbep\/ndg\/en\/002.mp3\" type=\"audio\/mp3\">\r\n        Your browser does not support the audio element.\r\n    <\/audio>\r\n          <div class=\"h5ap_lp\">\r\n        <div class=\"bar bar-1\"><\/div>\r\n        <div class=\"bar bar-1\"><\/div>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n<\/div><\/code><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <!\u2013- [et_pb_br_holder] -\u2013>  <!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <button class=\"openModalBtn\"><em><i class=\"fa-solid fa-circle-info\"><\/i> Text version<\/em><\/button><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <!-- NDG 02 --><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <\/p>\n<div class=\"modal\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <\/p>\n<div class=\"modal-content\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->            <span class=\"closeModalBtn\" style=\"cursor: pointer; float: right;\">\u00d7<\/span><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->            <\/p>\n<h5>The Tomb of the Promotes and the Small Quarry<\/h5>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        \t<pee>Three underground tombs, which were used from the 4th to the 2nd century BC, line the side of the quarry. The dromoses (access corridors) are dug into the panchina limestone quarry face and lead to the burial chambers. Unfortunately, when they were discovered they had already been looted and, nowadays, access is strictly forbidden. In one of them, there is a curious decoration \u2013 the face of a woman, a protome, carved into the rock panel facing the 3 tombs. A rough female head that an unknown sculptor was unable to finish, it is the only sculpture to have been found in the tombs of Populonia.<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->These hypogea (underground tombs) belonged to families, and were used to bury several members of the same family. However, the tombs were carefully hidden: the entrances were sealed with limestone blocks, and the dromos was filled with earth and stones \u2013 probably to protect the chamber containing the riches of the deceased from looting, which has taken place throughout antiquity. Therefore, for each new burial that took place, the family had to empty the dromos, open the blocked up doorway, deposit the deceased inside the burial chamber, and then close up the tomb behind them on leaving.<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->To the right of the tombs, traces of Etruscan excavation work and signs of wind and water erosion are clearly visible in the semi-circular limestone wall.

The excavation work resumed in 1997 and lasted until May 1998, the period in which the area you can admire in front of you was discovered. The Necropolis of the Caves archaeological site has been open to the public since July 1998.<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->This site was frequented by the Etruscans in two different periods: first, from the 7th to the 5th century BC, when this area was a quarry from which the Etruscans extracted blocks of limestone, also called &#8220;Panchina Calcarenite&#8221;, a sedimentary rock formed on the seabed used as a building material. In fact, the tombs of the necropolis of San Cerbone were built with this stone, and its use as a building material continued, not only in funerary architecture, but also in the construction of the walls and buildings of the town of Populonia. Blocks of Calcarenite, along with stones and slabs of other types of rock, were also used to build the monuments of the Roman acropolis, the panchina limestone being mined in the quarry prior to the creation of the Necropolis of the Caves, and in the Buca delle Fate (\u201cFairy Hole\u201d) area.<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->Subsequently, when San Cerbone and Cas\u00f2ne were abandoned as burial areas in favour of iron and steel production in the 4th century BC, this area became a necropolis. The Etruscans dug their tombs in the ancient, now abandoned quarries, carving chambers into the rock in which to bury their dead. These underground tombs have a quadrangular burial chamber, with three funeral beds carved into the rock for the deposition of the deceased.<\/pee><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <\/div>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <\/div>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->    <\/div>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->    <\/div>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><\/div>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><\/p>\n<div class=\"accordion-item\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->    <\/p>\n<h3 class=\"accordion-header\" id=\"ndg-05\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->    <button class=\"accordion-button\" type=\"button\" data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\" data-bs-target=\"#collapse05\" aria-expanded=\"true\" aria-controls=\"collapse05\">5 &#8211; The Quarry<\/button><\/h3>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->    <\/p>\n<div id=\"collapse05\" class=\"accordion-collapse collapse\" aria-labelledby=\"ndg-05\" data-bs-parent=\"#accordion-list\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->    <\/p>\n<div class=\"accordion-body\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-list\" src=\"https:\/\/web.parchivaldicornia.app\/imgs\/padbep\/ndg\/05.jpg\" alt=\"Image preview\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <code><style>\r\n .player3825  .plyr__controls,\r\n .player3825 .StampAudioPlayerSkin{\r\n  border-radius: 10px;\r\n  overflow: hidden;\r\n }\r\n .player3825{\r\n  margin: 0 auto; }\r\n .player3825 .plyr__controls .plyr__controls {\r\n   border-radius: none;\r\n   overflow: visible;\r\n }\r\n .skin_default .player3825 .plyr__controls {\r\n   overflow: visible;\r\n }\r\n <\/style>\r\n<div class=\"skin_default\" id=\"skin_default\">\r\n  <div style=\"width:100%;--plyr-color-bg:#333\" class=\"h5ap_standard_player player3825\" \r\n  data-poster=\"https:\/\/web.parchivaldicornia.app\/wp-content\/plugins\/html5-audio-player\/shortcode\/player\/sticky-default.jpg\" \r\n  data-skin=\"default\" \r\n  data-title=\"Audio Title\" \r\n  data-song=\"https:\/\/web.parchivaldicornia.app\/audio\/padbep\/ndg\/en\/005.mp3\" \r\n  data-id=\"3825\" \r\n  data-options='{&quot;controls&quot;:[&quot;play&quot;,&quot;progress&quot;,&quot;duration&quot;,&quot;mute&quot;,&quot;volume&quot;,&quot;settings&quot;],&quot;seekTime&quot;:10,&quot;skin&quot;:&quot;default&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Audio Title&quot;,&quot;author&quot;:&quot;Author Name&quot;,&quot;disableDownload&quot;:false,&quot;fusionDownload&quot;:true,&quot;color&quot;:&quot;skyblue&quot;,&quot;background&quot;:&quot;#333&quot;,&quot;repeat&quot;:false,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;opt-1&quot;,&quot;autoplay&quot;:false,&quot;muted&quot;:false,&quot;disablePause&quot;:false,&quot;startTime&quot;:0}'>\r\n    <audio  playsinline preload=\"auto\" class=\"player3825\" id=\"player3825\">\r\n      <source src=\"https:\/\/web.parchivaldicornia.app\/audio\/padbep\/ndg\/en\/005.mp3\" type=\"audio\/mp3\">\r\n        Your browser does not support the audio element.\r\n    <\/audio>\r\n          <div class=\"h5ap_lp\">\r\n        <div class=\"bar bar-1\"><\/div>\r\n        <div class=\"bar bar-1\"><\/div>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n<\/div><\/code><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <!\u2013- [et_pb_br_holder] -\u2013>  <!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <button class=\"openModalBtn\"><em><i class=\"fa-solid fa-circle-info\"><\/i> Text version<\/em><\/button><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <!-- NDG 05 --><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <\/p>\n<div class=\"modal\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <\/p>\n<div class=\"modal-content\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <span class=\"closeModalBtn\" style=\"cursor: pointer; float: right;\">\u00d7<\/span><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <\/p>\n<h5> The Quarry<\/h5>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <pee>The quarry was abandoned when it was still being mined, the presence of carved blocks ready for extraction bearing witness to the sudden withdrawal of activity from the area. It is not exactly clear when or why the quarry was abandoned and the tools used by the quarrymen have never been found by archaeologists. However, during the excavation of 1997-8, numerous traces of tool marks on the rock faces were found, the study of which pointing to the type of tools that were used in the quarry, including: pickaxes, wedges and chisels \u2013 fine point chisels and broad point chisels. <!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->To extract the blocks, the Etruscans used a pickaxe to dig a groove around the block to be extracted for carving. Then, with the use of wedges placed at the base of the block, they levered it in order to detach the block from the quarry bed. Since limestone is a sedimentary rock made up of layers of grains of sand that deposited and cemented over time, they followed the stratification of the rock when extracting the blocks. In this way, the block detached form the quarry bed easily without breaking. Note that the curve of the quarry face follows the stratification of the rock.<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->Once the blocks were extracted, they were lifted using a winch system and loaded onto wagons to be transported to the construction sites for working. Before the archaeological excavation took place, this area was completely covered by a layer of material made up of pieces of panchina limestone mixed with earth, which came about directly as a result of the mining activity carried out at the quarry. This layer of earth and stones has only been partially excavated, however, from the drilling of boreholes next to the quarry, we know that it was 5 metres deep, meaning that the actual quarry must be much deeper. Indeed, in front of the necropolis, the layer of stones and earth is 8 meters deep, so there is still a lot to excavate! Looking up and down the quarry face, it is clear that the quarry continues in both directions albeit covered by vegetation. Thus, what we can see here is only a small part of the Etruscan quarry face that extends for hundreds of meters into the woods.<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><\/pee><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <\/div>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <\/div>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->    <\/div>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->    <\/div>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><\/div>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><\/p>\n<div class=\"accordion-item\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->    <\/p>\n<h3 class=\"accordion-header\" id=\"ndg-06\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->    <button class=\"accordion-button\" type=\"button\" data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\" data-bs-target=\"#collapse06\" aria-expanded=\"true\" aria-controls=\"collapse06\">6 &#8211; The Tombs of the Quarry<\/button><\/h3>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->    <\/p>\n<div id=\"collapse06\" class=\"accordion-collapse collapse\" aria-labelledby=\"ndg-06\" data-bs-parent=\"#accordion-list\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->    <\/p>\n<div class=\"accordion-body\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-list\" src=\"https:\/\/web.parchivaldicornia.app\/imgs\/padbep\/ndg\/06.jpg\" alt=\"Image preview\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <code><style>\r\n .player3826  .plyr__controls,\r\n .player3826 .StampAudioPlayerSkin{\r\n  border-radius: 10px;\r\n  overflow: hidden;\r\n }\r\n .player3826{\r\n  margin: 0 auto; }\r\n .player3826 .plyr__controls .plyr__controls {\r\n   border-radius: none;\r\n   overflow: visible;\r\n }\r\n .skin_default .player3826 .plyr__controls {\r\n   overflow: visible;\r\n }\r\n <\/style>\r\n<div class=\"skin_default\" id=\"skin_default\">\r\n  <div style=\"width:100%;--plyr-color-bg:#333\" class=\"h5ap_standard_player player3826\" \r\n  data-poster=\"https:\/\/web.parchivaldicornia.app\/wp-content\/plugins\/html5-audio-player\/shortcode\/player\/sticky-default.jpg\" \r\n  data-skin=\"default\" \r\n  data-title=\"Audio Title\" \r\n  data-song=\"https:\/\/web.parchivaldicornia.app\/audio\/padbep\/ndg\/en\/006.mp3\" \r\n  data-id=\"3826\" \r\n  data-options='{&quot;controls&quot;:[&quot;play&quot;,&quot;progress&quot;,&quot;duration&quot;,&quot;mute&quot;,&quot;volume&quot;,&quot;settings&quot;],&quot;seekTime&quot;:10,&quot;skin&quot;:&quot;default&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Audio Title&quot;,&quot;author&quot;:&quot;Author Name&quot;,&quot;disableDownload&quot;:false,&quot;fusionDownload&quot;:true,&quot;color&quot;:&quot;skyblue&quot;,&quot;background&quot;:&quot;#333&quot;,&quot;repeat&quot;:false,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;opt-1&quot;,&quot;autoplay&quot;:false,&quot;muted&quot;:false,&quot;disablePause&quot;:false,&quot;startTime&quot;:0}'>\r\n    <audio  playsinline preload=\"auto\" class=\"player3826\" id=\"player3826\">\r\n      <source src=\"https:\/\/web.parchivaldicornia.app\/audio\/padbep\/ndg\/en\/006.mp3\" type=\"audio\/mp3\">\r\n        Your browser does not support the audio element.\r\n    <\/audio>\r\n          <div class=\"h5ap_lp\">\r\n        <div class=\"bar bar-1\"><\/div>\r\n        <div class=\"bar bar-1\"><\/div>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n<\/div><\/code><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <!\u2013- [et_pb_br_holder] -\u2013>  <!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <button class=\"openModalBtn\"><em><i class=\"fa-solid fa-circle-info\"><\/i> Text version<\/em><\/button><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <!-- NDG 06 --><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <\/p>\n<div class=\"modal\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <\/p>\n<div class=\"modal-content\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <span class=\"closeModalBtn\" style=\"cursor: pointer; float: right;\">\u00d7<\/span><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <\/p>\n<h5>The Tombs of the Quarry<\/h5>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <pee>Seven pit tombs and three sarcophagus tombs were discovered buried under the layer of residual mining material, a mixture of broken stones and earth, in front of the quarry. Only one of the sarcophagi is visible, most likely being a child\u2019s tomb because of the type of grave goods it contained \u2013 astragali, animal bones used for play, a pastime similar to the game of dice, were found inside. In one of the pit tombs, on the other hand, the remains of a man who lived about 2,400 years ago and was around 40-45 years old when he died was found. He was about 1.65 meters tall and was well-built. His teeth were very worn, perhaps serving him during manual work as a third hand, and he ate mainly meat and few cereals. The man died of cancer, which originally affected his lungs before spreading to the bones of his torso and limbs, a disease almost certainly caused by the inhalation of fumes from the metal working activity carried out in the region.<\/pee><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <\/div>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <\/div>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->    <\/div>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->    <\/div>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><\/div>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><\/p>\n<div class=\"accordion-item\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->    <\/p>\n<h3 class=\"accordion-header\" id=\"ndg-07\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->    <button class=\"accordion-button\" type=\"button\" data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\" data-bs-target=\"#collapse07\" aria-expanded=\"true\" aria-controls=\"collapse07\">7 &#8211; The Necropolis<\/button><\/h3>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->    <\/p>\n<div id=\"collapse07\" class=\"accordion-collapse collapse\" aria-labelledby=\"ndg-07\" data-bs-parent=\"#accordion-list\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->    <\/p>\n<div class=\"accordion-body\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-list\" src=\"https:\/\/web.parchivaldicornia.app\/imgs\/padbep\/ndg\/07.jpg\" alt=\"Image preview\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <code><style>\r\n .player3827  .plyr__controls,\r\n .player3827 .StampAudioPlayerSkin{\r\n  border-radius: 10px;\r\n  overflow: hidden;\r\n }\r\n .player3827{\r\n  margin: 0 auto; }\r\n .player3827 .plyr__controls .plyr__controls {\r\n   border-radius: none;\r\n   overflow: visible;\r\n }\r\n .skin_default .player3827 .plyr__controls {\r\n   overflow: visible;\r\n }\r\n <\/style>\r\n<div class=\"skin_default\" id=\"skin_default\">\r\n  <div style=\"width:100%;--plyr-color-bg:#333\" class=\"h5ap_standard_player player3827\" \r\n  data-poster=\"https:\/\/web.parchivaldicornia.app\/wp-content\/plugins\/html5-audio-player\/shortcode\/player\/sticky-default.jpg\" \r\n  data-skin=\"default\" \r\n  data-title=\"Audio Title\" \r\n  data-song=\"https:\/\/web.parchivaldicornia.app\/audio\/padbep\/ndg\/en\/007.mp3\" \r\n  data-id=\"3827\" \r\n  data-options='{&quot;controls&quot;:[&quot;play&quot;,&quot;progress&quot;,&quot;duration&quot;,&quot;mute&quot;,&quot;volume&quot;,&quot;settings&quot;],&quot;seekTime&quot;:10,&quot;skin&quot;:&quot;default&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Audio Title&quot;,&quot;author&quot;:&quot;Author Name&quot;,&quot;disableDownload&quot;:false,&quot;fusionDownload&quot;:true,&quot;color&quot;:&quot;skyblue&quot;,&quot;background&quot;:&quot;#333&quot;,&quot;repeat&quot;:false,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;opt-1&quot;,&quot;autoplay&quot;:false,&quot;muted&quot;:false,&quot;disablePause&quot;:false,&quot;startTime&quot;:0}'>\r\n    <audio  playsinline preload=\"auto\" class=\"player3827\" id=\"player3827\">\r\n      <source src=\"https:\/\/web.parchivaldicornia.app\/audio\/padbep\/ndg\/en\/007.mp3\" type=\"audio\/mp3\">\r\n        Your browser does not support the audio element.\r\n    <\/audio>\r\n          <div class=\"h5ap_lp\">\r\n        <div class=\"bar bar-1\"><\/div>\r\n        <div class=\"bar bar-1\"><\/div>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n<\/div><\/code><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <!\u2013- [et_pb_br_holder] -\u2013>  <!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <button class=\"openModalBtn\"><em><i class=\"fa-solid fa-circle-info\"><\/i> Text version<\/em><\/button><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <!-- NDG 07 --><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <\/p>\n<div class=\"modal\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <\/p>\n<div class=\"modal-content\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <span class=\"closeModalBtn\" style=\"cursor: pointer; float: right;\">\u00d7<\/span><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <\/p>\n<h5>The Necropolis<\/h5>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <pee>Looking at the rock face, you can immediately notice numerous chisel marks, which were probably used to smooth the surface. Each opening in the rock face corresponds to a chamber tomb, each chamber being enclosed by panchina limestone blocks and containing three funeral beds carved into the rock for the deposition of the deceased. Unfortunately, in the 1960s, these tombs were almost all looted. In fact, on the right, you can still see a part of the tunnel dug by grave robbers to reach the first level of the necropolis and access the burial chambers. Only so-called Tomb 14, which was lower down the rock face than the others, was saved from looting.<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->There are also two Etruscan inscriptions, which have to be read from right to left, on the rock face. The first is located about one meter above the tomb located furthest to the right: the name ANAS, perhaps the tomb owner\u2019s name, is inscribed on it. The second inscription is at the same height as the first but is located further to the left. Is it a small circle that seems to enclose the number 150, perhaps offering an insight into the use of the quarry by Etruscan workers? The vertical holes that you can see in the upper part of the rock face are natural cavities caused by erosion.<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><\/pee><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <\/div>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <\/div>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->    <\/div>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->    <\/div>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><\/div>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><\/p>\n<div class=\"accordion-item\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->    <\/p>\n<h3 class=\"accordion-header\" id=\"ndg-08\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->    <button class=\"accordion-button\" type=\"button\" data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\" data-bs-target=\"#collapse08\" aria-expanded=\"true\" aria-controls=\"collapse08\">8 &#8211; Tomb 14<\/button><\/h3>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->    <\/p>\n<div id=\"collapse08\" class=\"accordion-collapse collapse\" aria-labelledby=\"ndg-08\" data-bs-parent=\"#accordion-list\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->    <\/p>\n<div class=\"accordion-body\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-list\" src=\"https:\/\/web.parchivaldicornia.app\/imgs\/padbep\/ndg\/08.jpg\" alt=\"Image preview\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <code><style>\r\n .player3828  .plyr__controls,\r\n .player3828 .StampAudioPlayerSkin{\r\n  border-radius: 10px;\r\n  overflow: hidden;\r\n }\r\n .player3828{\r\n  margin: 0 auto; }\r\n .player3828 .plyr__controls .plyr__controls {\r\n   border-radius: none;\r\n   overflow: visible;\r\n }\r\n .skin_default .player3828 .plyr__controls {\r\n   overflow: visible;\r\n }\r\n <\/style>\r\n<div class=\"skin_default\" id=\"skin_default\">\r\n  <div style=\"width:100%;--plyr-color-bg:#333\" class=\"h5ap_standard_player player3828\" \r\n  data-poster=\"https:\/\/web.parchivaldicornia.app\/wp-content\/plugins\/html5-audio-player\/shortcode\/player\/sticky-default.jpg\" \r\n  data-skin=\"default\" \r\n  data-title=\"Audio Title\" \r\n  data-song=\"https:\/\/web.parchivaldicornia.app\/audio\/padbep\/ndg\/en\/008.mp3\" \r\n  data-id=\"3828\" \r\n  data-options='{&quot;controls&quot;:[&quot;play&quot;,&quot;progress&quot;,&quot;duration&quot;,&quot;mute&quot;,&quot;volume&quot;,&quot;settings&quot;],&quot;seekTime&quot;:10,&quot;skin&quot;:&quot;default&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Audio Title&quot;,&quot;author&quot;:&quot;Author Name&quot;,&quot;disableDownload&quot;:false,&quot;fusionDownload&quot;:true,&quot;color&quot;:&quot;skyblue&quot;,&quot;background&quot;:&quot;#333&quot;,&quot;repeat&quot;:false,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;opt-1&quot;,&quot;autoplay&quot;:false,&quot;muted&quot;:false,&quot;disablePause&quot;:false,&quot;startTime&quot;:0}'>\r\n    <audio  playsinline preload=\"auto\" class=\"player3828\" id=\"player3828\">\r\n      <source src=\"https:\/\/web.parchivaldicornia.app\/audio\/padbep\/ndg\/en\/008.mp3\" type=\"audio\/mp3\">\r\n        Your browser does not support the audio element.\r\n    <\/audio>\r\n          <div class=\"h5ap_lp\">\r\n        <div class=\"bar bar-1\"><\/div>\r\n        <div class=\"bar bar-1\"><\/div>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n<\/div><\/code><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <!\u2013- [et_pb_br_holder] -\u2013>  <!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <button class=\"openModalBtn\"><em><i class=\"fa-solid fa-circle-info\"><\/i> Text version<\/em><\/button><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <!-- NDG 08 --><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <\/p>\n<div class=\"modal\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <\/p>\n<div class=\"modal-content\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <span class=\"closeModalBtn\" style=\"cursor: pointer; float: right;\">\u00d7<\/span><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <\/p>\n<h5>Tomb 14<\/h5>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <pee>Found intact during the excavations of May 1997 , Tomb 14 was still sealed by a series of panchina limestone slabs. In front of the entrance, traces of burnt wood, perhaps remains of the funeral pyre were found. The tomb consists of a quadrangular chamber, with three stone beds complete with stone cushions carved into the rock. Inside the chamber, the priceless grave goods of a cremated woman were found intact. On the funeral platform at the back of the chamber, the remains of burnt bones and a gold earring were found. On the bed on the right, there was a set of vessels for pouring and consuming wine: an amphora, two pitchers and four cups painted black, as well as the remains of two lead candlesticks that had partially fallen to the ground. On the bed on the left, there was a ceramic jug. These grave goods indicate that the deceased was probably devoted to Dionysus, the god of wine. The vessels used during the funeral were found on the ground: a small jug and a p\u00e0tera (dish) for the libation, plates, a cup and a small olla (earthenware pot) for food offerings, and an amphora (jug) containing water for purification. The grave goods from Tomb 14 are housed in the Archaeological Museum of the Populonia Territory in Piombino, where you can also see a reconstruction of the tomb, with its finds displayed exactly as they were found at the time of the excavation.<\/pee><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <\/div>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <\/div>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->    <\/div>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->    <\/div>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><\/div>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><\/p>\n<div class=\"accordion-item\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->    <\/p>\n<h3 class=\"accordion-header\" id=\"ndg-09\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->    <button class=\"accordion-button\" type=\"button\" data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\" data-bs-target=\"#collapse09\" aria-expanded=\"true\" aria-controls=\"collapse09\">9 &#8211; The dice \u2013 symbol of the Meeting Point<\/button><\/h3>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->    <\/p>\n<div id=\"collapse09\" class=\"accordion-collapse collapse\" aria-labelledby=\"ndg-09\" data-bs-parent=\"#accordion-list\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->    <\/p>\n<div class=\"accordion-body\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-list\" src=\"https:\/\/web.parchivaldicornia.app\/imgs\/padbep\/ndg\/09.jpg\" alt=\"Image preview\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <code><style>\r\n .player3829  .plyr__controls,\r\n .player3829 .StampAudioPlayerSkin{\r\n  border-radius: 10px;\r\n  overflow: hidden;\r\n }\r\n .player3829{\r\n  margin: 0 auto; }\r\n .player3829 .plyr__controls .plyr__controls {\r\n   border-radius: none;\r\n   overflow: visible;\r\n }\r\n .skin_default .player3829 .plyr__controls {\r\n   overflow: visible;\r\n }\r\n <\/style>\r\n<div class=\"skin_default\" id=\"skin_default\">\r\n  <div style=\"width:100%;--plyr-color-bg:#333\" class=\"h5ap_standard_player player3829\" \r\n  data-poster=\"https:\/\/web.parchivaldicornia.app\/wp-content\/plugins\/html5-audio-player\/shortcode\/player\/sticky-default.jpg\" \r\n  data-skin=\"default\" \r\n  data-title=\"Audio Title\" \r\n  data-song=\"https:\/\/web.parchivaldicornia.app\/audio\/padbep\/ndg\/en\/009.mp3\" \r\n  data-id=\"3829\" \r\n  data-options='{&quot;controls&quot;:[&quot;play&quot;,&quot;progress&quot;,&quot;duration&quot;,&quot;mute&quot;,&quot;volume&quot;,&quot;settings&quot;],&quot;seekTime&quot;:10,&quot;skin&quot;:&quot;default&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Audio Title&quot;,&quot;author&quot;:&quot;Author Name&quot;,&quot;disableDownload&quot;:false,&quot;fusionDownload&quot;:true,&quot;color&quot;:&quot;skyblue&quot;,&quot;background&quot;:&quot;#333&quot;,&quot;repeat&quot;:false,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;opt-1&quot;,&quot;autoplay&quot;:false,&quot;muted&quot;:false,&quot;disablePause&quot;:false,&quot;startTime&quot;:0}'>\r\n    <audio  playsinline preload=\"auto\" class=\"player3829\" id=\"player3829\">\r\n      <source src=\"https:\/\/web.parchivaldicornia.app\/audio\/padbep\/ndg\/en\/009.mp3\" type=\"audio\/mp3\">\r\n        Your browser does not support the audio element.\r\n    <\/audio>\r\n          <div class=\"h5ap_lp\">\r\n        <div class=\"bar bar-1\"><\/div>\r\n        <div class=\"bar bar-1\"><\/div>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n<\/div><\/code><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <!\u2013- [et_pb_br_holder] -\u2013>  <!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <button class=\"openModalBtn\"><em><i class=\"fa-solid fa-circle-info\"><\/i> Text version<\/em><\/button><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <!-- NDG 09 --><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <\/p>\n<div class=\"modal\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <\/p>\n<div class=\"modal-content\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <span class=\"closeModalBtn\" style=\"cursor: pointer; float: right;\">\u00d7<\/span><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <\/p>\n<h5>The dice \u2013 symbol of the Meeting Point<\/h5>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <pee>On the rock face to the left of tomb 14, you can see a sort of large dice, the symbol of the meeting points in the Archaeological Park of Baratti and Populonia, carved into the rock. It is still a mystery as to how it was possible to etch around the dice so precisely, not to mention how it would have been possible to extract it, if this had been the intention of the ancient quarrymen. A block designed and carved for the creation of an unfinished sculpture? The beginning of excavation work on a new chamber tomb, which was later considered too close to Tomb 14? This dice symbol seems destined to remain a mystery!<\/pee><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <\/div>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <\/div>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->    <\/div>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->    <\/div>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><\/div>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><\/p>\n<div class=\"accordion-item\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->    <\/p>\n<h3 class=\"accordion-header\" id=\"ndg-10\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->    <button class=\"accordion-button\" type=\"button\" data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\" data-bs-target=\"#collapse10\" aria-expanded=\"true\" aria-controls=\"collapse10\">10 &#8211; The Tomb of the Blacksmith<\/button><\/h3>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->    <\/p>\n<div id=\"collapse10\" class=\"accordion-collapse collapse\" aria-labelledby=\"ndg-10\" data-bs-parent=\"#accordion-list\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->    <\/p>\n<div class=\"accordion-body\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-list\" src=\"https:\/\/web.parchivaldicornia.app\/imgs\/padbep\/ndg\/10.jpg\" alt=\"Image preview\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <code><style>\r\n .player3830  .plyr__controls,\r\n .player3830 .StampAudioPlayerSkin{\r\n  border-radius: 10px;\r\n  overflow: hidden;\r\n }\r\n .player3830{\r\n  margin: 0 auto; }\r\n .player3830 .plyr__controls .plyr__controls {\r\n   border-radius: none;\r\n   overflow: visible;\r\n }\r\n .skin_default .player3830 .plyr__controls {\r\n   overflow: visible;\r\n }\r\n <\/style>\r\n<div class=\"skin_default\" id=\"skin_default\">\r\n  <div style=\"width:100%;--plyr-color-bg:#333\" class=\"h5ap_standard_player player3830\" \r\n  data-poster=\"https:\/\/web.parchivaldicornia.app\/wp-content\/plugins\/html5-audio-player\/shortcode\/player\/sticky-default.jpg\" \r\n  data-skin=\"default\" \r\n  data-title=\"Audio Title\" \r\n  data-song=\"https:\/\/web.parchivaldicornia.app\/audio\/padbep\/ndg\/en\/010.mp3\" \r\n  data-id=\"3830\" \r\n  data-options='{&quot;controls&quot;:[&quot;play&quot;,&quot;progress&quot;,&quot;duration&quot;,&quot;mute&quot;,&quot;volume&quot;,&quot;settings&quot;],&quot;seekTime&quot;:10,&quot;skin&quot;:&quot;default&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Audio Title&quot;,&quot;author&quot;:&quot;Author Name&quot;,&quot;disableDownload&quot;:false,&quot;fusionDownload&quot;:true,&quot;color&quot;:&quot;skyblue&quot;,&quot;background&quot;:&quot;#333&quot;,&quot;repeat&quot;:false,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;opt-1&quot;,&quot;autoplay&quot;:false,&quot;muted&quot;:false,&quot;disablePause&quot;:false,&quot;startTime&quot;:0}'>\r\n    <audio  playsinline preload=\"auto\" class=\"player3830\" id=\"player3830\">\r\n      <source src=\"https:\/\/web.parchivaldicornia.app\/audio\/padbep\/ndg\/en\/010.mp3\" type=\"audio\/mp3\">\r\n        Your browser does not support the audio element.\r\n    <\/audio>\r\n          <div class=\"h5ap_lp\">\r\n        <div class=\"bar bar-1\"><\/div>\r\n        <div class=\"bar bar-1\"><\/div>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n<\/div><\/code><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <!\u2013- [et_pb_br_holder] -\u2013>  <!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <button class=\"openModalBtn\"><em><i class=\"fa-solid fa-circle-info\"><\/i> Text version<\/em><\/button><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <!-- NDG 10 --><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <\/p>\n<div class=\"modal\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <\/p>\n<div class=\"modal-content\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <span class=\"closeModalBtn\" style=\"cursor: pointer; float: right;\">\u00d7<\/span><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <\/p>\n<h5>The Tomb of the Blacksmith<\/h5>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <pee>After visiting Tomb 14, go up the steps and turn right.

They make up a large complex of underground tombs, with access steps carved into the rock. Before reaching the Painted Tombs, we pass in front of a tomb that was never completed. The workers only had time to carve the access steps to the chamber before the work was halted. The last two tombs are the only painted tombs to have been found in Populonia: the Tomb of the Dolphins and the Tomb of the Corridietro \u2013 the only tombs in the cave necropolis to have an arched entrance, all the others having a square-shaped entrance. These Painted Tombs have very simple frescoes: painted dolphins, which have all but faded away, on the door jambs, a ram&#8217;s head at the base of the funeral platform, and a series of red waves on a yellowish background on the walls of the chamber. It is believed that the waves and the dolphins were in charge of transporting the soul of the deceased to the afterlife.<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->Most of these tombs have been looted since the Roman age. In the access stairways, the remains of funerary statues, demons of death or ferocious animals, such as lions that had the task of guarding the tomb were found. The materials found indicate that the necropolis was used between the late-4th and early-2nd century BC.<\/pee><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <\/div>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <\/div>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->    <\/div>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->    <\/div>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><\/div>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><\/p>\n<div class=\"accordion-item\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->    <\/p>\n<h3 class=\"accordion-header\" id=\"ndg-12\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->    <button class=\"accordion-button\" type=\"button\" data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\" data-bs-target=\"#collapse12\" aria-expanded=\"true\" aria-controls=\"collapse12\">12 &#8211; Neighbouring Tombs<\/button><\/h3>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->    <\/p>\n<div id=\"collapse12\" class=\"accordion-collapse collapse\" aria-labelledby=\"ndg-12\" data-bs-parent=\"#accordion-list\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->    <\/p>\n<div class=\"accordion-body\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-list\" src=\"https:\/\/web.parchivaldicornia.app\/imgs\/padbep\/ndg\/12.jpg\" alt=\"Image preview\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <code><style>\r\n .player3832  .plyr__controls,\r\n .player3832 .StampAudioPlayerSkin{\r\n  border-radius: 10px;\r\n  overflow: hidden;\r\n }\r\n .player3832{\r\n  margin: 0 auto; }\r\n .player3832 .plyr__controls .plyr__controls {\r\n   border-radius: none;\r\n   overflow: visible;\r\n }\r\n .skin_default .player3832 .plyr__controls {\r\n   overflow: visible;\r\n }\r\n <\/style>\r\n<div class=\"skin_default\" id=\"skin_default\">\r\n  <div style=\"width:100%;--plyr-color-bg:#333\" class=\"h5ap_standard_player player3832\" \r\n  data-poster=\"https:\/\/web.parchivaldicornia.app\/wp-content\/plugins\/html5-audio-player\/shortcode\/player\/sticky-default.jpg\" \r\n  data-skin=\"default\" \r\n  data-title=\"Audio Title\" \r\n  data-song=\"https:\/\/web.parchivaldicornia.app\/audio\/padbep\/ndg\/en\/012.mp3\" \r\n  data-id=\"3832\" \r\n  data-options='{&quot;controls&quot;:[&quot;play&quot;,&quot;progress&quot;,&quot;duration&quot;,&quot;mute&quot;,&quot;volume&quot;,&quot;settings&quot;],&quot;seekTime&quot;:10,&quot;skin&quot;:&quot;default&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Audio Title&quot;,&quot;author&quot;:&quot;Author Name&quot;,&quot;disableDownload&quot;:false,&quot;fusionDownload&quot;:true,&quot;color&quot;:&quot;skyblue&quot;,&quot;background&quot;:&quot;#333&quot;,&quot;repeat&quot;:false,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;opt-1&quot;,&quot;autoplay&quot;:false,&quot;muted&quot;:false,&quot;disablePause&quot;:false,&quot;startTime&quot;:0}'>\r\n    <audio  playsinline preload=\"auto\" class=\"player3832\" id=\"player3832\">\r\n      <source src=\"https:\/\/web.parchivaldicornia.app\/audio\/padbep\/ndg\/en\/012.mp3\" type=\"audio\/mp3\">\r\n        Your browser does not support the audio element.\r\n    <\/audio>\r\n          <div class=\"h5ap_lp\">\r\n        <div class=\"bar bar-1\"><\/div>\r\n        <div class=\"bar bar-1\"><\/div>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n<\/div><\/code><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <!\u2013- [et_pb_br_holder] -\u2013>  <!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <button class=\"openModalBtn\"><em><i class=\"fa-solid fa-circle-info\"><\/i> Text version<\/em><\/button><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <!-- NDG 12 --><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <\/p>\n<div class=\"modal\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <\/p>\n<div class=\"modal-content\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <span class=\"closeModalBtn\" style=\"cursor: pointer; float: right;\">\u00d7<\/span><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <\/p>\n<h5>Neighbouring Tombs<\/h5>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->        <pee>Continuing along Via delle Cave, the path which runs past the Painted Tombs, you will see some other tombs, some of which are in poor condition because they were partly destroyed by the subsequent quarrying of panchina limestone \u2013 a building material used for many centuries in Populonia.
