Formia

The landscape around Formia is defined by the Tyrrhenian shore beneath the Aurunci Mountains, which has shaped both the town’s elongated coastal layout and its seafaring economy. On the Gulf of Gaeta, Formia has a harbour and rail and road links with Rome and Naples, while its older quarters retain reminders of ancient Formiae. The Roman Cisternone, a monumental underground water reservoir, reflects the town’s importance on the Via Appia, the road connecting Rome with southern Italy. Beaches and promenades run along the coast, with the mountains rising immediately inland. Trace Formia’s place between the Gulf of Gaeta and southern Lazio by browsing webcams nearby.
