Discover with us the Circeo National Park! 

 

Founded in 1934, Circeo National Park spreads out along the littoral strand comprising Anzio and Terracina and lies only 62 miles from Rome. Through the centuries Circeo was the first Roman colony, and during the Middle Ages, a possession of the Knights Templar, before passing under the control of the feudal lords Caetani and, finally, becoming a Papal stronghold. 

 

We will bike arrive at Circe Woods (Selva di Circe), one of few of the best-preserved and largest plain forests existing in the country, and where the Park’s fauna – e.g. the wild boar – can be observed, along with the so-called Verdesca natural pool, a relic from the former Pontine Marshes.  
Just over and parallel to the coastal dunes lies the lagoon made up of four successive littoral lakes.
