Sperlonga

Watercolor and ink. 28 febbraio, 2009

At the end of February I took a day trip to the beautiful costal town of Sperlonga.  Along with sandy beaches and white buildings all perched on a cliff, Sperlonga is home to Tiberius' Grotto - a natural sea cave that the emporer embelished with statues.  While the statues are in a museum up the path, the cave is open to visitors.
