Gaeta is located on the slopes of a cape that extends far into the Tyrrhenian Sea. This small town, which became a popular resort in the 20th century, was founded during the Roman Empire. The changing epochs have left their mark on the city's appearance. Here you will find remnants of Roman fortifications, monumental medieval fortresses, and splendid churches. The ancient streets of Gaeta are perfect for leisurely walks. The city is remarkably beautiful, and cozy cafes and restaurants with exquisite Italian cuisine only enhance the romantic atmosphere of Gaeta.
But attractions are not the only things that attract tourists to this coastal town. The cape is surrounded by magnificent beaches, clean and extensive. They are included in a protected area, and their condition is preserved by the state. However, this does not hinder the development of excellent infrastructure and a variety of sea activities. On the beaches of Gaeta, you can find everything from surfing to yacht cruises. And towards Mount Orlando, there is Cape Monto-Orlando. The cape is home to a magnificent natural park that all Gaeta visitors aspire to explore.
Gaeta
A contemporary of the Roman Empire
The small Italian town of Gaeta has witnessed many bloody battles, because it has always remained a tidbit for many conquerors. Now it belongs to the glorious Italian coast, and since 1967 has sheltered a NATO naval base in its expanse.
