You step into a warm Roman morning and a driver is already waiting—name on a tablet, engine idling, air conditioning set. The road to Civitavecchia threads past scrubby Mediterranean hills, small vineyards and a coastline that opens into the Tyrrhenian; the port’s cranes and the pale curve of the harbor appear like punctuation after the city’s long sentences.

History
Civitavecchia has been Rome’s maritime outlet since Emperor Trajan’s port works in the 2nd century AD; the coastal fortress later attributed to Michelangelo still defines the harbor approach.
Conservation
The port is a busy commercial and cruise hub; limit time on fragile shoreline habitats and follow local signage to reduce disturbance to nesting birds and coastal vegetation.
