San Felice Circeo old town, with Dji Phantom and Go Pro Hd , by Isola di Eea BB
The old town of San Felice Circeo, have very old origins. Roman Triumvir Lepidus was exiled her after his fall in 36BC by his former colleague, and future Emperor, Octavian (Augustus, the first Emperor of Rome, that started the Imperial Era). Ruins of his house are still visible. The history of this town is tightly linked with Rome. After its fall in 476 AC, pirates and moorish invasions from the sea until the construction, in 16th century and thanks to Pope Pio VI, of four defense towers dislocated along the Promontory coastline. As a result, all enemy ships were not able to hide in the bays, and attacks to town became suddenly more difficult to accomplish. There are a lot of stories of pirates, kidnapped women, adventures, death and victories. And don't forget that Ulysses too, have been attracted by the charm of this Promontory.
