Because of circumstances beyond our control, we stayed in Civitavecchia longer than planned. We normally would just pass through thinking that there’s not much to see here. There’s lots to do and food is great. The cost of hotels or b&b places are much cheaper than staying in Rome. Everything is walking distance, if you enjoy walking. There’s the beach and the promenade too. The train station is walking distance and you can take an easy ride into the heart of Rome and back for about an hour each way. There’s also Etruscan ruins you may want to check out in Ostia and Cerveteri, both accessible by train. It’s a totally different experience away from the crowd in Rome. Don’t get me wrong, Rome is still the fascinating Eternal City, you never get tired of visiting. There’s always something new to explore and discover

We were walking around Civitavecchia having arrived on the Explorer of the Seas cruise ship and we discovered this little church. It is also known as the Church of the Virgin. Near the end of the 16th century a church was built on this site by the Franciscans. The church was restored in 1856. It is a short walk from the cruise ship port past The Michelangelo Fortress a couple of blocks on the left. It has some beautiful statues and art work inside. Highly recommend!
