Terracina's Temple of Jupiter

Terracina, Italy ~ April 17, 2004

The highway from Rome to Naples hits the beach at Terracina, which has its own roadside attraction in this huge rock cliff with the Roman Temple of Jupiter on top. I'm not sure we knew you could go up there, but I learned later that you can walk through it.

Here is a fuzzy, rainy close-up taken from the same spot as the first photo.
