Well worth a trip to the top either for the history or the view over Terracina! You can even grab a drink at the top in the little cafe situated among the ruins!
An old ruin worth seeing. Build on Neptunes cliff, devoted to either Jupitor or Venus. The commanding view over the town is very nice.
Terracina's Tempio di Giove is one of those wonderful off the beaten track destinations rich in history which is worth visiting. One is rewarded with breathtaking views of the beautiful coastline, with stunning sunsets over the Circeo promontory during winter months. Terracina is older than Rome and boasts beautiful Roman and preRoman walls, temples, roads and cemeteries.
On top of the hill! Views on the sea! Wonderful! WInd your way up and enjoy the incredible view! You'll love it!
This is an amazing spot for a view!!! And apart from that, it is also the site of an interesting Roman temple!! If the weather is good, not too hazy or cloudy, the view is stupendous... all along the coast to San Felice Circeo or down south towards Gaeta.... There is also a café, that has a nice outdoor garden area. This could be amazing, but like so many opportunities in Italy, this has also been missed. It is basic, with good coffee and delightful seating outside that is spoiled by the radio blasting from speakers!! WHY??? I shall not criticize further as from experience I know that it is red tape and apathy that leads to entrepreneurial ideas being squashed here.....This is a great place to spend an hour, get some air, and take photos. There are lovely wild flowers growing around the hill side and some examples of Roman frescoes in a few arches if you look close enough, mustard coloured patches surrounded by red.... amazing. Well worth a visit, and very near the historic centre, so good as an add-on to a morning's sightseeing....
Take a camera and take your time to discover all the hidden areas. Great view, restaurant at the top . . .
Great views when you finally get to the top, also nice at night when it is all lit up!
The road up to the temple is windy and narrow in places but surprisingly tour busses get there. the temple date back to the 4th century BC and is good for a half a day. The cafe up there is not my cuppa so bring a picnic and your camera. The temple sits on the edge of a cliff overlooking Terracina. You can look down and see old and new Terracina and islands far out in the Sea.Make the most of it and go on a clear day.
Having a vacation in Italy includes seing a lot of ruins!But none can offer such a stunning view over the town of Terracina and the Mediterranean. 227 meters high the hilltop gives a fantastic view. And in the evening the temple ruins are lit up and gives a impressing sight from the town center.This is well worth a couple of hours of your valuable time!
Lets star by saying you're not going to be bowled over by the ruins here. Most have crumbled to dust except the arches, which can be seen to better effect from the town below.The views however are spectacular. especially on a clear day. The air is cool and sweet and you can look down on the town below and up and down the coast.There is an overpriced gift shop at the entrance, selling books and tat that you could pick up elsewhere cheaper.There is also a bar up at the ruins however I didn't visit it so I can't comment.
