San Felice Circeo

San Felice Circeo is considered a land of heroes and magic. Its history is indeed rich of mythological legends.

The story of San Felice Circeo is quite complicated because this territory was constantly under pirate attacks from the sea. The evidence of the constant invasions rises everywhere: several guarding towers where built all around for distant sighting of pirates and the Turkish one-eyed walls which origin is also proven by the antique Circe Acropolis located on the Mount Circe and dated in the third century after Christ.

The one-eyed walls, the Templar Tower and the cave Guattari, holder of the skull of a Neanderthal man, are all amazing spots to be visited during your holiday in San Felice Circeo.

The historical, cultural and architectural attractions are not the only beauty of this location; San Felice Circeo offers splendid and well-known beach side. The relaxing life of the beach can be animated with long walks to reach uncontaminated areas and enjoy breath-taking panoramas, like Punta Rossa, rising on the sea and reachable through a panoramic road bordered by impressive cliffs. The Grotta delle Capre (Goat’s Cave), largely corroded by the sea, allows visitors to admire the date mussels. Then the Riparo Blanc has many fauna remaining and you cannot miss the Lighthouse of Capo Circeo, built in 1866.

During your trip in San Felice Circeo, you can easily reach the Pontine islands, of volcanic origin, and a succession of caves, creeks and capes showing scenarios of an impressive beauty.
