Gaeta (Italian: [ɡaˈeːta]; Latin: Cāiēta; Southern Laziale: Gaieta) is a city in the province of Latina, in Lazio, Italy. Set on a promontory stretching towards the Gulf of Gaeta, it is 120 kilometres (75 miles) from Rome and 80 km (50 mi) from Naples.
The town has played a conspicuous part in military history; its walls date to Roman times and were extended and strengthened in the 15th century,[3] especially throughout the history of the Kingdom of Naples (later the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies).
Present-day Gaeta is a fishing and oil seaport and a renowned tourist resort. NATO maintains a naval base at Gaeta.
