Archaeological Sperlonga: museum, villa and Ulysses

Read the sculptures and maritime residence without promising passage through the grotto or outdoor opening.

The maritime villa, grotto and sculptures formed one seaside setting. The museum reconstructs fragments found in 1957 and presents groups from the Ulysses cycle.

The museum, if open

Scylla, Polyphemus and the other reconstructed episodes explain the ancient programme, but museum opening still requires official confirmation.

The original setting is not guaranteed

Do not describe the grotto as passable. Checked on 30 August 2026, it is temporarily closed for extraordinary maintenance; the archaeological area may close in bad weather and is not accessible to visitors with motor disabilities.

Check that day

Notices, last admission and access must be checked on the Ministry site before travel. Never cross closures.
