Stretching along the coastline, this picturesque walkway is perfect for leisurely strolls, where you can enjoy the fresh sea breeze, admire colorful fishing boats, and take in panoramic views of Gaeta’s historic landmarks.
The Basilica Cattedrale di Gaeta, also known as the Cathedral of Saints Erasmus and Marcian, is a stunning Roman Catholic church located in the heart of Gaeta. Originally built in the 10th century, the cathedral has undergone numerous renovations, blending Romanesque, Gothic, and Baroque styles. One of its most striking features is the 57-meter-tall bell tower, adorned with Arab-Norman influences.

Perched on a hill, it offers breathtaking views of the sea and the surrounding landscape. The castle features thick stone walls, towers, and fortified bastions, reflecting its role in defending Gaeta from naval and land invasions.

Originally founded by Saint Francis of Assisi in the 13th century, the current structure was rebuilt in the 19th century, showcasing an impressive façade with soaring spires, intricate carvings, and large stained-glass windows.
