Great beaches and beach resorts only 20 minutes away are an added bonus.
The town has changed little since its medieval conception, and the enormous fortress of Caetani Castle looms over and dominates the town and the valley below. The castle is now run by the Roffredo Caetani Foundation, which was created by in honour of the illustrious family.
Today, the castle hosts courses, seminars, and prestigious concerts. In July, there are concerts in the castle by well-known contemporary musicians and orchestras.
