Sanctuary of Giove Anxur , a Roman temple built on a hill some 227 m (745 ft) tall, offers impressive views of the nearby town and the Mediterranean sea. The substructure dates back to the first century BCE. The ruins themselves include a fortified camp, the temple itself and its terrace, as well as a smaller temple with traces of ninth-century frescoes. Roman cults worshiping the gods Venus and possibly Jupiter celebrated rites here. Bring sturdy footwear and be aware that the inclines are steep.

This place is amazing, very worthwhile to come and see. The ancient ruins are fascinating and the views down onto Terracina and the ocean are stunning. Cost 7 euros to get in and worth every cent.

A lot of history in this place, interesting to learn about it! Tickets for 7€ and we got an information brochure at the entrance. The staff were really helpful and nice. Toilets and parking at the entrance. Unfortunately the park need a renovation, it could be so much more and the history would be presented better. Some places were tagged down, there were areas closed by plastic bands and the information boards were maybe a bit few and old. Nevertheless it's still worth the visit! Tip: Bring your own drink and snack and have a lunch with a view.
