A hillside park on the edge of town, with walking paths among pines and oaks, picnic tables, and a playground. Good for a quiet stroll and views over the Liri Valley.

Porta Romana

Surviving medieval city gate, built into the town walls, with a large stone arch and small tower above. Marks the old entrance from the Via Casilina. Free to walk through.
