The Route

4 stops
Get ready to step back in time. The history of Gaeta unfolds among the walls of its noble palaces and the secrets kept close to the sea.

Enea's Tip

Fun fact: For centuries, the medieval village of Gaeta was a truly impregnable fortress, withstanding as many as fourteen sieges in its history!

Bar Bazzanti Bar & Aperitivi

Bar Bazzanti

Considerato un punto di riferimento imprescindibile del centro storico, è la tappa d'obbligo per chiunque visiti la città. Qui la tradizione si gusta in ogni sorso: famoso per i suoi caffè e cappuccini di alta qualità, il Bazzanti offre un'esperienza autentica che va dalla colazione all'aperitivo serale. La vetrina è un trionfo di produzione artigianale: brioche fragranti, le classiche ciambelle fritte, sfogliatelle croccanti e deliziose crostate fatte in casa. Per una pausa salata o un aperitivo rinforzato, non mancano mai tramezzini freschi e le iconiche pizzette, perfette da gustare seduti ai tavolini all'aperto ammirando la vita del borgo antico.

🚗 1km by car there's Polveriera Ferdinando (Museo Naturalistico)
Polveriera Ferdinando (Museo Naturalistico) Stop 4

Polveriera Ferdinando (Museo Naturalistico)

Edificata tra il 1764 e il 1765, la polveriera "Real Ferdinando" è oggi sede del Museo Naturalistico. È uno dei pilastri delle fortificazioni di Monte Orlando e offre un percorso che unisce la storia militare borbonica alla biodiversità del parco.

🕒 Closed 💶 Non disponibile
The day ends with the wonderful atmosphere of Monte Orlando. If you decide to come by car, I recommend leaving your vehicle at the convenient Parcheggio Lungomare Caboto.
