    "The Necropolis of Castel d'Asso represents one of the most significant testimonies of Etruscan Civilization. The cube tombs carved into the rocky walls of the gorge follow one another, showing themselves to the visitor with elegant facades characterized by dedicatory engravings, decorative friezes and symbolic motifs such as the door of 'Afterlife, recurring image of Etruscan culture. A first study of the necropolis was made in 1817 by the Viterbo archaeologist Francesco Orioli, who was also responsible for the discovery of the even more imposing necropolis of Norchia near Vetralla.
