Civitavecchia
is separated by only a few kilometres on the motorway from the Eternal
City and its international airport at Fiumicino.
Landing at Civitavecchia means approaching the heart of the mysterious
Etruscan civilization with places to visit which can only fascinate and
beguile the traveller: Tuscania, Tarquinia, Vulci, Viterbo, Cerveteri and
many others, to discover as in a dream.
Founded
on earlier Etruscan settlements in 108 A.D. by Emperor Trajan to provide
a safe sea haven for the capital of the Empire, the port of
Civitavecchia has continued from then, through the centuries of papal
Rome to the present day, to perform the function for which it was
created: to be the sa fest door to the city of Rome.
