The walk from city of Terracina to the Temple of Jupiter Anxur

Yesterday we went up to the Temple of Jupiter Anxur. It is a beautiful place. Here is what Wikipedia write about the place:

The temple was built between the mid-second and mid-first century BC and is dedicated to Jupiter, who was the protector of Anxur.^[2] It was located along the Via Appia which passed through the city of Terracina and is situated atop Mount Sant’Angelo. The site is erected on top of a terraced platform that uses opus incertum. The largest temple is dedicated to Jupiter while a smaller temple dedicated to Venus Obsequens (“Indulgent Venus”) sat next to it. After the Roman period, the sanctuary was destroyed.^[3] The remains were known in the medieval times as “Theodoric’s palace,” and in the early Middle Ages, a monastery dedicated to St. Michael the Archangel occupied the smaller temple. The interior was transformed into a church, and 9th-century frescos can still be found inside. The first excavations of the temple date to 1894 by Pio Capponi.^[4]

To get up there you can take a bus from the city, but we wanted to walk. And I absolutely recommend walking. Because it is a beautiful landscape and view all the way up to the top. And it’s not much traffic. The surroundings is peaceful and now in May it’s so many beautiful flowers everywhere.

Here is some pictures from the trip.
