The Tomba della Mula (Italian: "Tomb of the She-Mule") is a beehive tomb in Sesto Fiorentino, near Florence, central Italy, dating to the 7th century BC.
The names derives from an ancient legend, according to which a golden she-mule had been buried in the fields around Florence. It is known since the 15th century, and is the largest pre-Italic dome tomb known in Italy. The structure has a diameter of some 9 meters.
The tomb was declared a national monument in 1905.
