Gaeta was and is residence of Bishop's palace.
Greek civilization greatly influenced the people in this area, although Gaeta was not a Greek colony.
During Roman times this town was known as a famous resort with a good harbour for ships. The via Flacca (a Roman road built in 184 B.C., ) - which still connects Gaeta with Rome - leading towards the town of Sperlonga, was lined with beautiful villas, gardens, swimming pools, nymphaeums and mausoleums.
The best preserved is Villa of emperor Tiberius, located just below the Sperlonga Museum.
