The Roman shopping temple
Since many years the concept of shopping has formed a solid union with that of outlets, oases for all those who love the adventure but wish to limit the costs. One of the most popular of these sites in Rome, and in the overall region of Lazio, is undoubtedly Castel Romano Designer Outlet. It was born in October 2003 and in 2 decades it has become an essential landmark for shopping lovers from all over the capital and beyond.
The outlet is part of the British outlet family, Outlet Center McArthurGlen, and it is only 25km away from the city of Rome, between Castel Porziano and Pomezia.
