The Vallugola bay is a wonderful natural inlet located between the promontories of Gabicce and Casteldimezzo. A favorite destination for those coming from the sea, Vallugola is a small paradise on the Adriatic Sea, with its stony beach and a charming tourist port. Its strange name could derive from Valle Lucula, or “dark valley” due to the presence of thick woodland or from “Valle dell’ugola”, in relation to the well-known phenomenon of the echo that can be heard in this bay. In ancient times, the port of Vallugola was frequented by many ships from Greece that sailed up the Adriatic to reach Adria and Spina. Confirmation of this intense port traffic are the numerous archaeological finds made in the waters in front of the bay, such as terracotta, fragments of statues and Attic vases from the 5th century BC. At the top of the hill above Vallugola, an epigraph tells of the existence of a temple dedicated to Jupiter Serenus, protector of sailors who, following his great flame that illuminated the darkness of the night, could arrive safe and sound at their destination. But according to an old legend, the crystalline waters of Vallugola hide an entire submerged city: the Roman Valbruna, also known as the Atlantis of the Adriatic. For years archaeologists and divers have searched in vain for the remains of this city, mysteriously disappeared in the mists of the centuries, even if even today, on the clearest days, some swear they can see the ruins of ancient homes, with streets, columns and temples.
