Yellow Caves of Riparbella what are they
They are Etruscan tombs located in the countryside of Bibbona
Dug into the calcarenite, the particular yellow color of the caves dates back to an ancient seabed of about a million years, with a “rabbit ear” formation with two V – shaped chambers divided by a column.
