Visit S. Severa Castle under the stars this summer.

Night tours of the majestic Castello di S. Severa take place from 20.10-23.20 on select summer evenings until 30 September.

The Italian-language tours provide a cultural and historic background to the recently-restored castle - home to Europe's most beautiful youth hostel - on S. Severa beach.

There is limited disabled access to the castle whose Saracena Tower is not open to visitors with heart problems, pregnant women or children under the age of six.

The castle is situated less than 10km south from the popular resort of S. Marinella, off the Strada Statale 1 Via Aurelia, and can also be reached by the Civitavecchia train from Rome.
