Restaurants Services
Minturno is situated on the north west bank of the Liris (also known as the
Garigliano), with a suburb on the opposite bank c. 18 kilometers from its mouth,
at the point where the Via Appia crossed it by the bridge called Pons
Tiretius.
The Roman ruins consist of an amphitheatre (now almost entirely demolished, but
better preserved in the 18th century), a theatre in opus reticulatum, and a very
fine aqueduct in opus reticulatum, the quoins of which are of various colours
arranged in patterns to produce a decorative effect. There is also a statue
commonly called of Sepeone (Scipio), from the Late Empire age.
The Thermae of Suio, some kilometers outside the city, are known since very
ancient times, as they are cited by both Pliny the Elder and Lucanus. They are
still exploited. The place were the site of a battle between France and Spain in
1503. Close to the mouth of the river was the sacred grove of the Italic goddess Marica.
