SAN FELICE CIRCEO
 
Pleasant resort that evokes history and legend: Homer, Ulysses, Circe, Enea … myth and reality in a place that has always attracted fantasy and interest from many places of the world.
The town has been inhabited since prehistory age; in the Guattari Cave in fact Neanderthal man’s remains were founded. The Romans conquered the town in IV century B.C. The acropolis was built in those years in a splendid and panoramic position. In the Middle Age it was destroyed by Saracens in IX century; a castle was built here by Terracina’s inhabitants, than it was owned by the Church and for a short period by Templar Knights.
The beautiful cliff presents many sea coves and at its east and north side there is a wonderful beach with a series of towers from XVI century (Paola, Cervia, Fico, Vittoria, Olevola).
The small and picturesque ancient centre has a great nightlife in summer time, with bar and typical pubs, boutiques and small shops, place for meetings for the famous people of the show business.
