Pomezia

Only a handful of towns in Lazio have histories as closely bound to the reclamation of the Pontine Marshes as Pomezia. Founded as a planned town in the 1930s, it was developed as the former wetlands of the Agro Pontino were drained and brought into cultivation. Its territory stretches across the Roman Campagna towards the Tyrrhenian Sea, including the coastal district of Torvaianica. The town plan and civic buildings retain elements of Italy’s Rationalist architecture. At Pratica di Mare, the archaeological area of ancient Lavinium recalls an important Latin religious centre traditionally associated with Aeneas.
