Sperlonga

Dreaming between sky and sea

The village

Sperlonga is situated in a panoramic location on a rocky promontory overlooking the sea, about halfway between Rome and Naples.

The name derives from the numerous caves, called “spelonche” in Italian, which open up in the rock along this stretch of coast.

Along the coastline, there are indeed stretches of fine white sand beaches, as well as cliffs and marvelous coves accessible only by boat.

Historic Center

The historic center, of ancient Roman origin, is characterized by narrow alleys and steep staircases that descend to the sea. During the Middle Ages, these alleys served to obstruct the pirates who often attacked the castle of Sperlonga. Various watchtowers were also positioned along the coast, but today only three remain.

Culinary Tradition

The cuisine of Sperlonga draws heavily from the sea for many of its main ingredients. The recipes are traditional, featuring dishes based on local fish, such as cuttlefish ragu and sardine soup.
