San Felice Circeo

San Felice Circeo straddles the coastal plain beneath Monte Circeo on Lazio’s Tyrrhenian shore, a setting that has long connected the town with both the sea and the wooded promontory behind it. The mountain forms the defining profile of the Circeo National Park, established in 1934 to protect coastal dunes, wetlands and Mediterranean woodland. Local tradition associates the headland with Circe, the enchantress of Homer’s Odyssey, while the nearby Grotta Guattari is an important prehistoric site where Neanderthal remains were found in 1939.
