Pomezia, Administrative center in Metropolitan City of Rome, Italy
Description
Pomezia is an administrative center in the Metropolitan City of Rome, stretching between the capital's outskirts and the Tyrrhenian coast. The town sits on flat alluvial terrain shaped by industrial facilities and residential neighborhoods.
History
The municipality emerged in 1939 as part of a settlement program that brought families from northern Italy to the former Pontine Marshes. The draining of these areas under Mussolini's regime created buildable land for new agricultural colonies.
Culture
The Pratica di Mare airport hosts the Italian Air Force Museum, which guides visitors through decades of military aviation history. The collection displays fighter jets and helicopters from different eras of Italian military development.
Practical
The town lies around 30 kilometers south of Rome and is accessible via regional roads and motorways. A visit can easily be combined with a trip to the nearby coastal area or to the archaeological sites at Pratica di Mare.
Did you know?
The town's name refers to Pomona, the Roman goddess of fruits and gardens, reflecting the agricultural purpose of its founding. In the first years after establishment, settlers lived in temporary housing while transforming the drained marshland into workable fields.
