Ladispoli is a small seaside town with an ancient Etruscan and Roman history still visible in its profile along the Tyrrhenian Sea. In the past, it played a significant role as an Etruscan port and later as a Roman colony.
In 1888, the city of Ladispoli was founded at the behest of Prince Ladislao Odescalchi. The prince decided to get rid of the inhabitants of Palo and the vacationers who, in the summer period, populated the beaches up to the castle. A consortium was established with subsequent plotting and radical changes to the road network.

Along the beach that leads from Palo Laziale to Ladispoli, you can admire the remains of Roman and Etruscan origin. In Marina di Palo, you can admire the Roman villa and the “grottaccia.” In Marina di San Nicola, you will find yourself in front of the remains of the magnificent villa of Pompeo, which once occupied five hectares of land. Another charming place is the Posta Vecchia, cradle of over two centuries of history.

The Odescalchi Castle and Torre Flavia are the two landmarks of Ladispoli. Not least, in the Monteroni, there is an ancient necropolis with the remains of the ancient Alsium.

Among the events not to be missed in Ladispoli is the Artichoke Festival in mid-April. The event was born in 1950 and is still one of the most curious, with its characteristic sculptures made by local farmers with the Roman Artichokes PGI.
