Santa Severa: special guided tours at the Castle with archaeologist Flavio Enei

Sunday, 10 May, the Castle of Santa Severa opens for two exclusive guided tours led by archaeologist Flavio Enei, who has directed excavations and curated the site's museum displays.

The tours, scheduled at 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM, trace the site's long history—from the Etruscan origins of the port city Pyrgi through Roman and medieval phases that reshaped the coastal fortress.

• Expert guide: Flavio Enei will present artifacts and excavation insights from his direct fieldwork.
• Route highlights: museum rooms, archaeological areas and evidence of ancient coastal life.
• Castrum Novum: visits to the ancient Roman colony resume and are available on request thanks to collaboration with volunteers from the GATC (Gruppo Archeologico del Territorio Cerite).

Joining a tour led by an archaeologist involved in the site's research provides rare insights and nuances not always visible during standard visits, turning the experience into a walk through local memory and cultural heritage.

Visitors interested in excursions to Castrum Novum should inquire in advance about access procedures and how to request the visits. The event underlines Santa Severa's importance as an archaeological hub on the Lazio coast, combining research, conservation and public engagement.
