The story
Inside a Renaissance fort built in 1501 on the Nettuno seafront, this museum of the Allied landing displays uniforms, helmets, documents, photographs and material found around Anzio and Nettuno. The fort itself watched the landing ships arrive on 22 January 1944.
What to look for
See the period photographs of Nettuno under shellfire, then look out to sea from the fort.
