To be precise we want to talk about the coast that goes from Gaeta to Sperlonga, 10 Km that we believe are among the most beautiful of all along our peninsula, worthy of being preserved from speculation becoming a natural park or protected marine reserve.

In the 50s a very busy coastal road (the Via Flacca) was created which facilitated the connection and which has an incredible charm and whose beauty sometimes succeeds in overcoming the tourist exploitation.

Let’s go now, starting from the Piazza del Comune with its bell tower and the so-called nearby Piazza Roma, in the heart of the village, walking along the typical “gut”: Via Indipendenza. You immediately find yourself in another dimension …

Starting from the  Prima Porta , the first access road by land to the Piazzaforte of Gaeta, continue on Lungomare Caboto and after a few hundred meters, on the right we find the  Second Gate  known as the Port of Charles V (or of the Citadel), for centuries (until 1928) was for those who came from the land route the only access to the fortified city and, for this reason, it is also known as Porta di Terra, a name also given to the surrounding district.

Arrived in Gaeta by car or by bus you cannot miss the Sanctuary of  the Split Mountain , a name linked to three vertical cracks that legend has it was produced by the earthquake that occurred at the death of Christ.

The visit to the Sanctuary includes: the  Montagna Spaccata , the Via Crucis of 1849, the chapel of San Filippo Neri, the chapel of the Crucifix, the  Grotta del Turco  and finally the Church of the Santissima Trinità, proceeding as follows: 
Starting from the  Chiesa della SS. Trinity  dating from the late seventeenth century and it is a simplified but elegant synthesis of Neapolitan and Spanish Baroque models.
