Cupra Alta or Marano offers an amazing view over the sea and the Palm tree Riviera. The old part is almost intact, boasting walls with square and polyhedral towers and the gates of the fortress.
One of the major attractions of the city is the Archaeological Park of Cupra Maritima on the Colle of Civita (and on the adjoining Colle of San Basso or Morganti), at around 1,500 m north of the built-up area, where it is possible to spot a relevant part of the urban system of the roman town and maybe the finds of the ancient Temple dedicated to the goddess Cupra; the several archaeological finds, coming from the excavations,are held in the Museum of the Territory, recently moved to the Palace Cipolletti in the village of Marano.
