HISTORY
Constructed from the 14th century onwards on the ruins of the old Etruscan port of Pyrgi by the sea, the castle has a quadrangular plan and is fortified by towers and a moat surrounded by three concentric walls that also enclose a village and the early Christian church of Santa Severa. A wooden bridge connects it with the Maschio, a large cylindrical fortified tower.
VISITING THE CASTLE
Inside it is the Museum of the Sea and Ancient Navigation, the Antiquarium of Pyrgi and the Local History Museum.
Treat yourself to a unique experience in this oasis of peace and calm. Book your visit to the Castle of Santa Severa and savour the stunning beauty of the Lazio coast.
