Castle Santa Severa

The Castle of Santa Severa and the ancient area of Pyrgi are one of the most important archaeological site of the tyrrenian coast. The whole area around the Castle has been frequented since the IV millennium BC,as the researches, made by the Arehaeological Superintendence and the University of Rome in 1956, witnessed. In the Bronze Age a little village lay south of the Castle, by the sea shore and near a source of fresh water, becoming a landmark for the ancient sailors. In the archaic period Pyrgi,was certainly a commercial landing-place of great fame, where people from all the Mediterranean, especially Greeks and Phoenicians, came for their trades.
