点评:Very often small coastal towns preserve small and large treasures that are just waiting to be discovered by tourists. Walking inside these towns can therefore be a pleasant surprise.
The historic center of Terracina is a true gem overlooking the sea.
The historic center is located on a much higher position than the sea coast.
Taking a walk through the old town you will come across the various attractions.
The first thing you notice in the area is a mix of buildings dating back to very different periods: starting from the Roman era up to the Renaissance.
All around there are shops selling typical products and art workshops.
As soon as you enter the ancient area, you find the Church of Purgatory in front of you.
Continuing the path on foot you arrive at the heart of the historic center of Terracina with the Forum Aemilianun, the remains of the Capitolium, the temple dedicated to the triad of Juno, Jupiter and Minerva, and passing under the arches of the Frangipane Castle. After various buildings, made of travertine and dating back to the Middle Ages and the Renaissance period, you arrive at the main square with the Cathedral of St. Caesarius.
The staircase preceding the entrance shows that the Cathedral rests on the remains of an ancient Roman temple and has undergone several restorations over time.
It is worth visiting for the eighteenth-century frescoes and the splendid Cosmatesque floor of medieval origin.
Highly recommended.

泰拉奇纳历史中心是一块真正的瑰宝,俯瞰着大海。
历史中心的位置远高于海岸。
漫步在老城区,您会邂逅各种各样的景点。
首先映入眼帘的是这里混合的建筑,其历史可追溯到不同的时期:从罗马时代到文艺复兴时期。
周围遍布着出售特色产品的商店和艺术工作室。
一进入古城区,炼狱教堂便映入眼帘。
继续步行,您将到达泰拉奇纳历史中心的核心地带,这里有艾米利亚努斯广场、卡皮托利欧山遗址、供奉朱诺、朱庇特和米涅瓦三位一体的神庙,以及弗兰吉帕内城堡的拱门。穿过几座建于中世纪和文艺复兴时期的石灰华建筑,您将抵达主广场,那里矗立着圣凯撒利亚大教堂。
入口前的楼梯表明,大教堂坐落在一座古罗马神庙的遗址上,并经历了多次修复。
值得一游的是十八世纪的壁画和源自中世纪的华丽的科斯马特式地板。
强烈推荐。
