Near the banks of the Garigliano River, is the archaeological park of the Roman town of Minturnae.
During Roman times this was a successful trading port of considerable importance.
Today there are still significant Roman remains to be seen, including an impressive aqueduct, arches, columns, ruins of a Forum and original tracts of the ancient Appian Way.
