Overview

Civitavecchia is a major port city on the western Italian coast, north-west of Rome. The city is most known as a jump – off point for boats to European locations including as Sicily, Sardinia, and Barcelona, as well as a port of call for cruise liners wishing to visit Rome.

This city, though not a tourist attraction in of itself, does offer some interesting sights to see if you have an hour or two to kill before your departure. Amazingly, Tsunenaga, a samurai, will lead the first part of this free tour! His structure stands at the port’s entryway to memorialize his voyage to the city over a 400 years ago, as well as to reflect the port’s worldwide nature and ambition for trade and cultural interchange. Reality sights of fisherman on the dock offering their newly caught fish can be seen while wandering around the famous ancient Roman port. You will be transported to the lovely downtown area after viewing several other features of the harbor, such as a stronghold built by Michelangelo (Forte Michelangelo), a fountain constructed by Vanvitelli, and the city edifices.
