After a few hundred meters of dirt road you will find the Etruscan village. This open-air museum is a reconstruction in wood, earth and vegetable fibre. In the center is the altar where lightning often strikes. The Etruscans respected nature and storms and atmospheric events were sacred, perhaps for this reason they had chosen this place to live. The name 'Bibele' derives from the word bibere which means 'to drink', in fact there were many sources of water here.
