Gaeta Attractions

 
In the extreme south of Latium, charmingly situated on a rocky promontory in the gulf of the same name, the port of Gaeta (10m/33ft; pop. 25,000), was until 1861 the principal strong point of the kingdom of Naples and Sicily. The cathedral of Sant'Erasmo has a campanile in Sicilian Romanesque style (1279). Inside, behind the high altar, is a banner presented by Pope Pius V to Don John of Austria, the victor of Lepanto and opposite the principal doorway an Easter candlestick with Late Romanesque reliefs (c. 1200), is borne on four lions. A short distance west of the Piazza stands the large church of San Francesco.
