Gaeta is a coastal city rich in history and culture, with a charm that dates back to ancient Roman times and extends through the Middle Ages to the modern era. Here are the main attractions to consider during your visit, all located just a short walk from the property:
– Angioino-Aragonese Castle
The Gaeta Castle dates back to the medieval period but has been modified and expanded over the centuries, with the Angevin wing once housing the ancient Military Prison. A visit to the castle provides a deep dive into history, with its robust walls narrating tales of battles and daily life from the past. Guided tours are available.
– Gaeta Cathedral
The Cathedral of Sant’Erasmo, situated in the heart of the historic center, is an impressive religious structure that blends Romanesque and Gothic elements. Inside, you can admire the Bell Tower, a masterpiece of medieval art, and several valuable sacred artworks.
– Monte Orlando Regional Park, the Sanctuary of the Annunziata, and the Grotta del Turco
We recommend taking a walk in the natural park early in the morning or late in the afternoon, which offers trails with panoramic views of the Gulf of Gaeta.
While strolling, you can also visit the Sanctuary, where you can admire ancient frescoes, and the Grotta del Turco, a natural wonder associated with many local legends.
