Overview
Murlo is known for its Etruscan origins: it is even said that, due to its isolation, its inhabitants have inherited and maintained direct descent from this people, a hypothesis also scientifically demonstrated through genetic analyses. These Etruscan roots can be explored in the Antiquarium Museum, housed in the Bishop's Palace. Here, awaiting the curious eyes of visitors, the museum offers a real journey into the history and culture of this land: male figures, animals, sphinxes, a gorgon, friezes depicting various moments of primitive family life, all this and much more is ready to be observed and studied. The village, then, is small, gathered in the ancient walls that give the centre a triangular shape, while the surroundings are a treasure chest of nature and beauty to be explored by following the ancient paths.
