It is a small sea resort on the Via Aurelia, c. {{convert|8|km|0|abbr=on}} south of Santa Marinella and {{convert|50|km|0|abbr=on}} north of Rome.
It takes its name from the 2nd-century Christian martyr. The village includes a small medieval town with a 9th-century castle facing the sea, where the ancient Etruscan port of Pyrgi was once located. The Pyrgi Tablets were found here in 1964.
