History of Anzio
Antium (Antium) is much older than Rome. Before the conquest in 338 BC. e. it was a fortified town of the Wolski tribe.
At the time of the Empire, Ancium competed with Pompeii for the number of luxury villas and wealthy Romans. At the seashore stood the imperial palace, in which Caligula and Nero were born. During the excavation of the palace, such masterpieces of ancient art as "The Borgean wrestler" and "Apollo Belvedere" were discovered. And in 59, Nero laid a commercial port here.
After the capture of Saracens, the city was abandoned, and the settlement itself moved to the east - in the area of modern Nettuno. Pope Innocent XII in 1698 began construction of a new port east of the archaeological zone. During the Second World War, the Allies landed in the Anzio area to liberate Rome. Then the city was badly destroyed and after the war was rebuilt.

Entertainment, excursions and attractions of Anzio
The city of Anzio even in ancient times had a developed infrastructure: the city had thermae, amphitheaters and circuses. Remains of some Roman buildings can still be seen to this day. In addition, Anzio has memorial sites dedicated to World War II.
It is a Sicilian-Roman-American cemetery and a Memorial of 77 acres, where nearly eight thousand American soldiers are buried. Most of them died for the freedom of Sicily, as well as for landing in Salerno, on the Anzio coast and for the expansion of the bridgehead of military operations. The military memorial is to the north of Nettuno, in the eastern part of Anzio. In another Commonwealth military cemetery, the remains of a thousand soldiers were buried, on the coastal military cemetery, 5 km north of Anzio (SS207) - more than two thousand.
The Anzio Military Museum (Museo dello Sbarco di Anzio) is dedicated to the landing of the Allies on the territory of the port of Anzio and is located in the village of the times of the 17th century - Villa Adele, which is down the slope from the railway station. The entrance is free. By the way, the museum is in the same building as the Archaeological Museum, which is also recommended to visit.
