Grotta di Tiberio

One
of the most characteristic towns of the whole province. It is risen on
the rocky spur of Monte S. Magno and practically intact it
preserves his original nucleus with a Mediterranean typica taste, with
white constructions, lanes and scalette (stairs) that go down up to the
sea and heart of the summer worldly life for the presence of numerous places
and typical meetings. The city owes his picturesque structure to it's needs
her/it to oppose a valid defensive system against the pirates that raged
from the sea. The original calm of the site has made of Sperlonga the favorite
place of vacation of the Romans and, particularly, of the emperor Tiberio
of whose villa is visible looking forward to the promontory of the SS Flacca.
Numerous are the things to visit. It deserves a detail mention the so-called
cavern of Tiberio. In this same district is found the National Archaeological
Museum that picks up, besides, important tied up marmoreal groups to the
legend of Ulisse to a large amount of remains recovered in the same
area and in the cavern. Turistic Sperlonga, developed directly
on the sea, and has great charm particularly in the beautiful beaches of
the Canzatora, D'Angolo, Bazzano and of the Bambole.
