Hi OBF,oldbluefox wrote:Interesting what you say about the Roman ruins near Civitavecchia Sue. The Google images make them look quite substantial and worthy of further investigation. I had never heard of them before but would enjoy going to see them.
We had not heard of them either. They are substantial and are still being excavated. As wells the baths area, there was a library and hospital. It is a beautiful spot but if they want to start making money out if it they need to advertise it better and provide a place to buy refreshments to entice visitors. I think that Civi has been ignored by the tourist trade for so long and is still unsure how to promote its attractions. Why have a tourist bus that doesn't allow stops to see the attractions.
There is a lot of work going on in the town so this may change over the next few years.
