Civitavecchia

Civitavecchia combines the working energy of a major port with the slower rhythm of a Tyrrhenian seafront in a way that reflects its long role as Rome’s maritime outlet. The harbour, developed under Emperor Trajan in the early second century AD, continues to shape the town’s links with the wider Mediterranean. Forte Michelangelo, the imposing Renaissance fortress beside the port, recalls the strategic importance of this stretch of Lazio’s coast under the papacy. Inland, the Terme Taurine ruins preserve traces of Roman bathing culture. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Civitavecchia and Lazio.
