Nowadays it is a beautiful village. Apart from the large Necropolis nearby the most visible etruscan remains are located at the north-east edge of the medieval village: a part of an Etruscan wall built of megalithic slabs probably in the 6th century BC and the foundation walls of several etruscan atrium-houses. Discovered by Isidoro Falchi in the 1890s. The site is also called Via di Ciclopi.
