Undiscovered Italy: Terracina, sea, history and countryside
Topic : Itineraries
In our April 2008 newsletter we present a day trip itinerary from Gaeta to discover the town of Terracina right in the middle of the South Pontino, Latium, Italy. Terracina is located 100 Km (62 miles) south from Rome and 120 Km (74 miles) north from Naples.
The picturesque modern town of Terracina occupies the site of the old one. The town is the largest of the South Pontino but still preserves much of the beauty of its long history (at least 2,500 years!). Those who enjoy the countryside as well as the sea need only to choose their preferred beach or explore the hills few miles inland from the town to reach interesting places on the Ausoni Mountains. Once there visitors will admire a unspoiled countryside with the hilly valley of Campo Soriano Natural Monument and the Madonnina di Monte Leano, which overlooks the Pontine Marshes plain. But there is much more to explore around. In fact Terracine is an important archeological site with ancient Roman, Etrurian, Volsci ruins.
