| Sperlonga |
|||||
| Sperlonga’s attractions as
a leisure resort were first recognized about 2000 years ago. The name of the town comes from the Latin ”spelunca” which stands for cave, and one of them is today known as the Grotto of Tiberius. The Grotto of Tiberius is a big cave open to the sea. Once it was a sumptuous villa built during the Tiberius’ age and considered as his private residence where he used to put up his legions. In the Archaeological Museum of Sperlonga guests will see an art collection of objects once belonging to the villa, part of which consists of sculptural groups in mid – Hellenistic style representing scenes from the Homeric legend and mostly associated with Odysseus (Ulysses in Latin). |
