Valerio Ponzo
Ancient Norba
The ancient city of Norba had a short and tormented existence; loyal to Rome during the Punic wars, it was badly damaged as a result.
Silla rebuilt it, but it lost importance during the empire and was abandoned for good.
The archaeological area that can be visited today is of extraordinary interest and the monumental circuit of the walls in polygonal style alone makes visiting the whole complex worthwhile.
One of ancient city's roads ends ahead of a cliff that overlooks the Agro Pontino, stretching all the way down to the Tyrrhenian Sea.
