Odescalchi Castle.

Santa Marinella, known in Roman times as Punicum, boasts a natural harbor, used since the time of Etruscan settlements. Worth seeing, among pines and palm trees, is the majestic Odescalchi Castle dating back to the fourteenth century and located on the remains of the ancient Roman Villa of Ulpiano. Long disputed between the most important noble families of Rome, such as the Colonna and the Borgias, since 1887 it has been owned by the Odescalchi family, hence the name.

Santa Severa Castle.

A few steps from the town of Santa Marinella stands another historical building of great prestige, the Castle of Santa Severa. Crossing the walls of its fortified village you enter the Museum of the Sea, which retraces the routes followed by Ulysses and the Greek merchants, revealing the wonderful finds discovered during underwater investigations.
