Sperlonga, Coastal commune in Province of Latina, Italy
The white buildings of Sperlonga extend along a rocky promontory between Terracina and Gaeta, facing the Tyrrhenian Sea at 55 meters elevation.
Emperor Tiberius constructed a seaside villa with an artificial grotto in the first century CE, which contained numerous marble sculptures depicting scenes from Homer's Odyssey.
The Archaeological Museum of Sperlonga displays original Roman sculptures recovered from Tiberius's villa, including the renowned Polyphemus group and Scylla attacks.
Visitors can reach Sperlonga by taking a train to Fondi-Sperlonga station on the Rome-Naples line, followed by a local bus connection to the town center.
The natural caves along Sperlonga's coastline, from which the town derives its name, served as foundations for Roman architectural structures and modern buildings.
