What a find. You can completely submerse yourself in this place. It's quiet and peaceful, yet the site has wonderfully preserved features. One of the highlights of our trip.

The oldest square in the city, surrounded by the typical Medieval district, is a very picturesque site with an interesting history. The old legend has it that the old sailor named Leonardo managed to convince his fellow citizens to return to the old city of Centumcellae instead of building a new city on the hill, after the Sarracen invasion in the 9th century. The city was rebuilt and renamed to Civitas Vetula (or Civitavecchia).
