Monte Orlando Park and the Mausoleum of Munatius Plancus

Monte Orlando is the promontory that closes Gaeta to the south, an urban regional park of 59 hectares of land that ends in a cliff above the sea. It has six walking itineraries, among them the cliff path, the CAI LH17 of Monte Orlando and a birdwatching path. At the top is the mausoleum of Lucius Munatius Plancus, the founder of Lyon, a round Roman tomb preserved whole, and on the slopes, batteries, powder magazines and bastions of Bourbon Gaeta. Some areas are closed because of the risk of rockfalls: respect the signs. The park office is at Via della Breccia, 5.
