Cisterna di Latina

The settlement stretches across an area of fertile land in central Italy, situated 77 meters above sea level in the Province of Latina.

During World War II, the town became the center of a major battle in January 1944, leading to substantial destruction before its capture by Allied forces.

The Palazzo Caetani, constructed between 1560 and 1574, contains frescoes by Italian masters Girolamo Siciolante da Sermoneta and Federico Zuccari.

The Garden of Ninfa, located within the commune territory, maintains specific opening hours and requires advance reservations for guided tours throughout the year.

Underground grottoes beneath the city, originally tuff and pozzolan quarries, later served as catacombs and contributed to the town's name derivation.
