MEDIEVAL TOWN OF SERMONETA






A small medieval village, not far from Rome and 30 minutes from Latina, built on the top of a rock to defend the Agro Pontino area. The Caetani family bought this castle and the surrounding estate in 1297.
Italy is surely full of cities that are rich from the architectural and historical points of view. What is not always so easy to find here are places that are still genuine and out of any touristic flows with all that goes with it. In Sermoneta one can walk on roads that have been paved during XIV century, visit the majestic Princes Caetani's castle feeling like an XIX centoury traveller.
