Piano Bar Tempio di Giove In Terracina

The site is unfortunately very ruined but the view…spectacular!

The first monumental phase of the sanctuary probably dates back to a period between 329 BC and 312 BC. Linked to the oracular cult for several centuries, while the phase in opus incertum of which we observe the remains today dates back to the end of the Republican age, between the 2nd and 1st centuries BC. The titular deity of the cult practiced at the Tempio Maggiore is still a matter of debate, of which today little more than the podium remains on its famous twelve-arched terrace: in addition to the traditional identification with Iuppiter Anxur (Jupiter the boy), the city's protective deity, some scholars support the hypothesis that it is a female deity such as Venus Obsequens, based on some inscriptions found in the area. Instead, the so-called Small Temple (probably the oldest, around the middle of the 2nd century BC, with remains of paintings in the 1st style) has recently been attributed to the cult of the goddess Feronia. This area of ​​lower Lazio is rich in evidence of the era, but this site is one of those places that must be visited.

1 hour walk to get there Magnificent conservation site Crazy view of the city

Beautiful stunning view overpriced for the few stones left …

From the city you can see very well and it looks really beautiful. The ticket without a guide costs 10€, not even Ercolano. (With a guide 15€). The route is short. I had high expectations…

Very interesting archaeological site, well maintained. Once you reach the top, in addition to the beauty of the remains you can admire a wonderful panorama.

Beautiful beautiful beautiful must go

It is not only an extraordinary archaeological site, but also a spectacular viewpoint overlooking the sea. Absolutely worth a visit!

A must-see, older than the Colosseum, incredible view.

Excellent scenery and great views
