What should you not miss when visiting Civitavecchia? To put together a list of “must-see” places is not an easy task!

In Civitavecchia you find a lot of monuments and archeological sites that testify to the historical presence of different cultures and civilisations. The city, developed from an Etruscan village, took on an increasingly strategic role in Roman times thanks to the proximity to Rome and to its founder, the emperor Trajan. Later in the Middle Ages, the different Popes in charge contributed a lot to the prestige of the city, commissioning the construction of historic buildings that you can still admire today.

Today the ancient Centumcellae is a very important center along the Lazio coastline. Every year over 5 million people pass through the port: they are cruise and ferry passengers, crew and other visitors.

Civitavecchia offers a lot of things to do and see: you can enjoy its mild weather, visit its historic port and Medieval centre, explore its archeological and natural sites and much more!
