Celtic Hypogeum, Cividale del Friuli

A descent into Celtic Hypogeum is also a step back in time, through a network of connected caverns whose origin and original use remain mysterious. Situated near the center of the city, the underground historic site encompasses several rooms carved into the rock face. Wandering the corridors and chambers of the hypogeum, you'll notice three masks, their function unknown, as well as benches and wall niches. There are conflicting ideas about the monument's purpose, from Celtic funeral site to a Roman-era prison. Go to tourist information center to gain entry, as the doors may be locked.
