Things to do in Salto di Fondi Italy – what to see attractions and activities

The Truglia Tower was erected in 1532, on the remains of a previous Roman control tower. Two years later it was destroyed by Barbarossa and rebuilt in 1611, but already in 1623 it was shot down again by the Turks. From 1870 to 1969 it was used by the Guardia di Finanza. Today, it is home to the Marine Environment Education Center of the Regional Nature Park “Riviera d'Ulysses”. The tower can be visited by everyone and the entrance is free.

Inaugurated in 1963 it houses the remains of the statues coming from the nearby Villa of the Emperor Tiberius. The building is located within an important archaeological area.

The large Roman villa located in Sperlonga belonged to the Emperor Tiberius. Taking advantage of a natural cave on the coast, he used it as a party hall, accompanying it with huge marble statues.

The tower was built in the 16th century as part of a defensive system commissioned by Don Pietro di Toledo. It is a crenellated structure with a circular base, which is accessed through a small staircase. Over the years it also hosted the customs office inside it, since from its height the area could be supervised. Today, despite the age of construction, the tower is in an excellent state of preservation.

The Fort of San Andrea was built on the ruins of a villa of the Republican Age. Its construction date is still unknown, except for a few nearby structures built in 1798 to protect themselves from the French. Currently, only the ruins are visible of the fort.

The castle was built in the 9th century, at the behest of the Duke of Gaeta. In the tenth century the structure was modified by the Duke's nephew, Marino I, who added a second tower. Over the centuries he had several owners, who modified and enlarged the building in turn. Currently, the castle can be very well visited, and in it there are exhibitions, markets and various ceremonies. It is said that the ghosts of the sentenced to death wander in the castle, so it's the ideal place for horror enthusiasts.

It takes its name from Professor Henri Breuil, one of the scientists who first studied it, lies in a cove southwest of the craggy wall of Mount Circeo called 'precipicio'. The cave extends from west to east for 35 meters and has, in its central part, a width of 12 meters.
