Slightly more than 100 Kilometres from Rome and 120 Km from Naples, Terracina
lies on about fifteen Km of coastline, along the wide gulf marked off by the
Circeo and Gaeta promontories. A visual summary of the history of Terracina is
afforded by the present-day main plaza, Piazza del Municipio, which has sections
of the ancient Roman Appian Way, the Republican Age (or Emilian) Forum with its
original pavement, traces of Roman theatre, and the capitolium. The Middle Age
is represented by the splendid Cathedral, dedicated to the patron saint Cesareo,
Palazzo Venditti, the Torre dei Rosa, now the Civic Museum, and Castello
Frangipane. Nearby are the 18th century Palazzo Braschi and Palazzo della
Bonifica, and the modern section with the Municipio, the town hall.
Other monuments in the old city are the Chiesa del Purgatorio and the Church of
San Giovanni. By taking a short walk in the old town you will discover
characteristic shops and establishments, including small wineries, with history
everywhere around you. Piazza del Municipio also offers a view of the two
symbols of Terracina, the sea and the Temple of Jupiter Anxur. The latter was
part of the monumental complex of the ancient acropolis, situated on the top of
Monte S. Angelo, which affords a breathtaking view of the entire gulf and the
Pontine Islands; indeed, on especially clear days you can see the jewels of
Campania, the islands of Ischia and Capri. Terracina is a beautiful tourist
city: the long sand bank with bathing establishments, parks, hotels and villas
and apartments for rent; the colourful fishermen's port-canal and two basins for
pleasure-craft, and the arm of the port where the ships depart for Ponza (in the
summer) and for Ventotene.
Along the eastern and western coastline, a few Km from town, there are many
campgrounds and some small bathing establishments. Those who enjoy the
countryside as well as the sea need only venture a few miles into the interior
to reach two interesting places: the hilly valley of Campo Soriano and the
Madonnina di Monte Leano, which overlooks the Pontine Marshes plain.
