About Casal Palocco
What are the main landmarks in Casal Palocco?
One institution defines the quarter. The Ecomuseum of Roman Litoral works from Casal Palocco, gathering and presenting the natural and built heritage of the coastal Roman Litoral rather than drawing crowds to a single monument. Big sights lie elsewhere.
For grand churches and ruins, travellers turn to central Rome, while Casal Palocco keeps the low-key character of a modern district whose chief landmark is a museum of its own coastline.
What is the history of Casal Palocco?
Casal Palocco is a young part of an old city. Rome reaches back to antiquity, yet this district was founded only in 1961, laid out on the coastal ground of the Roman Litoral long after the historic centre had taken shape. The quarter came late.
Its modern streets sit on the low littoral plain that the Ecomuseum of Roman Litoral records, tracing the coastal territory of Rome rather than the monuments of the inner city.
Where is Casal Palocco?
Casal Palocco lies on the coastal flats of the Roman Litoral, the seaward side of Rome, within the Lazio region.
