Ponza has served as a harbour settlement in Lazio’s Pontine Islands since Roman times. Set in the Tyrrhenian Sea, the island is marked by steep volcanic cliffs, small coves and an indented waterfront around its main port. Roman engineering remains visible in ancient cisterns and in the tunnel leading towards Chiaia di Luna, beneath a high tuff cliff. Ponza is the principal inhabited island of the Pontine archipelago, connected to the mainland by ferry services and shaped by a maritime life that becomes especially active in summer.
