Discover Gaeta, the ‘Pearl of the Tyrrhenian,’ where ancient Roman myth meets the dramatic history of a Mediterranean stronghold. Our journey begins at the Split Mountain (Montagna Spaccata)—a breathtaking natural wonder where high sea cliffs were split by legend. We’ll walk through the cavernous fissures to a secluded sanctuary that has hosted Popes, Saints, and Kings for centuries.
From there, we dive into the heart of Medieval Gaeta. Looming above us is the massive Angevin-Aragonese Castle, a former military fortress and prison with a skyline that rivals any in Italy. We will weave through the cobblestone alleys of the historic center before arriving at our final stop: the Cathedral’s bell tower, a masterpiece of Moorish-influenced architecture.
Perfect for history buffs and photography lovers alike, this tour uncovers the secrets of a city that was once a powerful Maritime Republic and the final stand of the Bourbon Kings.
