Chiesa di Santa Lucia (Auditorium Santa Lucia)
The Church of St. Lucy, now adapted as an auditorium, is an example of cultural reuse of religious spaces.

Pizzeria
Carlo Avallone’s Pizzeria del Porto
A small, casual pizzeria and deli offering pizzas, arancini, and traditional Gaeta Tiellas. Highly recommended for tasting the authentic Tiella di Gaeta: Carlo is one of the few remaining 'Maestri Tiellari' (Master Tiella Makers). He championed the revival of this local dish back in the 90s, playing a key role in its current success. A definite must-try.

Bar Bazzanti
Considered an indispensable landmark in the historic center, it is a must stop for anyone visiting the city. Here tradition can be tasted in every sip: famous for its high-quality coffees and cappuccinos, Bazzanti offers an authentic experience from breakfast to evening aperitifs. The storefront is a triumph of artisanal production: fragrant brioche, classic fried doughnuts, crispy sfogliatelle and delicious homemade tarts. For a savory break or a bracing aperitif, there is never a shortage of fresh sandwiches and the iconic pizzettas, perfect to enjoy while sitting at outdoor tables admiring the life of the old town.
I hope this day in our wonderful medieval village leaves you with unforgettable memories. Enjoy your walk!
