Minturno is best known in Lazio for the archaeological area of ancient Minturnae, a Roman colony founded on the Via Appia in 295 BC. The municipality extends from the foothills of the Aurunci Mountains to the Tyrrhenian coast, where the Garigliano River reaches the sea and forms the boundary with Campania. At Minturnae, the remains of a Roman theatre, forum and stretches of the Appian Way recall a settlement on the major route between Rome and southern Italy. Minturno’s historic centre stands above the coastal plain, while Scauri is its seaside district.
