View of Sperlonga

Highlight • Viewpoint

Sperlonga is certainly one of the most renowned villages in the Province of Latina. Its white beaches and crystal clear water have earned it the merit of obtaining the famous Blue Flag.
The historic center of the village (nominated as one of the most beautiful villages in Italy), located on a spur of rock that juts out towards the sea, and the archaeological sites of national importance, make it a destination not to be missed.
Furthermore, the proximity to Rome and Naples make this village certainly a must in the province of Latina.

Itri Castle

Highlight • Castle

Building of the castle started in 882 and was expanded over the years until about 1503. Its main functions where to defend Itri and the via Appia. You can visit the castle via the contact form on it's official website it seems. I haven't done this myself though.
