Introducing Civitavecchia

On the coast of Italy's Lazio region, just 80 kilometers northwest of Rome, lies the ancient port city of Civitavecchia. Also known as the Port of Rome, this major port was commissioned by the Roman Emperor Trajan in the 2nd century, and it continues to serve as a significant transportation hub today.

Civitavecchia welcomes hundreds of cruise ships and ferries each year, all traveling to and from destinations across the Mediterranean Sea. Visitors are delighted by the city's well-preserved historic port reminiscent of Ancient Rome. You can still see some of the port's original features such as the Darsena Romana (Roman Dock) and the 16th century Michelangelo Fort, one of the main symbols of Civitavecchia.

Other popular attractions in Civitavecchia include the Terme Taurine (Taurine Baths) and the Terme Ficoncella (Ficoncella Thermal Baths), both Roman thermal bathhouse complexes located slightly northeast of the city, and the National Archeological Museum of Civitavecchia with its extensive collection of historical and archaeological artifacts.
