Aenaria
In 1972 local divers found fragments of Roman ceramics in the Bay of Cartaromana, just across from the castle, leading to the 2011 discovery of Aenaria, a Roman settlement destroyed in a volcanic eruption around AD 150 (aenum is the Latin for metal), and referred to in records by Pliny the Elder. The excavations that began in 2011 are still ongoing, and Il Borgo del Mare organizes a tour in a glass-bottom boat as well as snorkeling tours.
