This picture was taken from inside the main cave. You can walk inside the cave and look out toward the Tyrrhenian Sea and Sperlonga. The town of Sperlonga, barely visible on the right-hand horizon, sits on an outcropping of rock over the sea.

Visitors can walk inside the caves and get a sense of how the sculptures were placed.
