Alta Terracina is the old Terracina and it a masterpiece of preRoman and Medieval architecture. Step back in time and walk up and down the narrow streets. Nothing bigger than a small Fiat would fit through some of the streets.I have been back many times and will be back again next year!

A nice little bar on the main square. A great selection of wines and beers. Outside seating so you can people watch. Nicely decorated with 60s memorabilia.

Sperlonga and Gaeta are much more attractive than Terracina. No real italian atmosphere over there...

Great bit of history wandering around the cobbled streets! So much character compared to the more modern areas of terracina

The old town is really pretty and compact, in a few yards you get to see a lovely medieval cathedral, some pretty Roman mosaics, and interesting Roman ruins - and look out for the giant amphora in the Municipio's courtyard!

I'm biased - my father was born and grew up in the old town. On my annual visit, I always take time to walk around, visiting relatives - besides, my favourite bar is at the top of c. Anita Garibaldi.

The spatial layout of the piazza is lovely - enormous, fronting the cathedral, which itself is fascinating, with influences from the East. Other smaller churches in the winding streets are worth exploring - how many skeletons can you find? Very friendly people.

This was our first tour when we landed in Italy. You will need comfy shoes for the walk due to the cobbled roads. Very interesting -- take time to read plaques. Warning -- we thought we could walk to the top of the hill to see the old temple ruins. It's farther than it looks -- we turned around and got the car. LOL

Even though it was a fairly bleak day in May, we enjoyed the large square surrounded on all sides by the Cathedral, other majestic and ancient ruins. We were unable to enter the Basilica because there was a wedding about the start but enjoyed seeing the bride arrive in a little white Fiat festooned with ribbons to climb the steep steps to meet her future husband. Before long, another bride arrived to celebrate a civil wedding in the Register Office nearby which was decorated with garlands of flowers.Pigeons bathed in the rainwater that had collected in the very ancient flagstones and there was a wonderful sense of peace away from the traffic of the modern town, heightened by the swelling organ music that heralded the start of the nuptials.

Beautiful old city with a fantastic atmosphere. We stayed in an apartment for one week beside the Piazza del Municiopio in the old town. The piazza is lovely place. We enjoyed the piazza each day from breakfast to glass of wine in the evening. Visit Bar Grande, lovely bar where the locals visit. The best part to sit on the piazza is see the daily life of the locals.
