Port Civitavecchia (cruise port of Rome) is located
approximately 80 km (50 ml) from Rome City (northwestern
direction). The cruise port is officially named "Roma Cruise
Terminal". It was opened in 2007, and in the period 2007-2018
handled around 23 million cruise ship tourists.
The Civitavecchia Port was founded in the 2nd century by
Emperor Trajan, a Roman one. He gave the name Centumcellae
and still you can see Trajan’s Port remains. In the end of 15th
century, pirates damaged the port. This was the reason for
building a fortress to protect the Civitavecchia Port. This was
done in 1537 by Michelangelo, instigated by Pope Julius II.
