Cisterna Di Latina

Cisterna Di Latina combines Roman history, important places of remembrance and vibrant traditions. Those looking for a holiday apartment can plan their stay here around culture, historical discoveries and a special event in 2026. The town offers a range of starting points for this: from the traces along the Via Appia and the art in Palazzo Caetani to the Buttero tradition.

Roman History in Tres Tabernae

A central starting point for exploring the history of Cisterna Di Latina is Tres Tabernae. The site developed around a Roman post station where the roads from the inland centres of Ulubrae, Norba and Cora met the Via Appia. Tres Tabernae therefore represents an era in which roads, messages and travellers came together at this place.

Famous personalities are also associated with Tres Tabernae. Cicero stayed there and mentioned the place in three letters to Atticus, which he wrote in 61 and 59 BC. The Apostle Paul spent one night in Tres Tabernae during his journey from Tarsus to Rome and met Christians from the surrounding area there. This gives visitors a historical perspective that brings together political, religious and everyday travel history.

Finds from Tres Tabernae include, among other things, grave covers, the remains of a villa complex, baths, mosaic floors and a figurative emblem. These different pieces of evidence invite visitors to consider the Roman past not only through individual names, but also through various forms of life and construction.

Palazzo Caetani and Piazza 19 Marzo

A large fresco has been preserved in the so-called Sala Zuccari at Palazzo Caetani. It depicts the Caetani family’s estates in the Pontine region in the 18th century. The preserved fresco complements the older Roman traces with an art-historical perspective. The Cattedrale S.Maria Assunta in Cielo also stands at the centre of Piazza 19 Marzo. Those who enjoy combining squares, sacred architecture and historic town-centre themes will find further opportunities here for planning a cultural day trip.

Tradition and Special Places of Remembrance

The Palio dell’Anello 2026 is a major sporting competition that builds on Cisterna di Latina’s centuries-old Buttero tradition. During the competition, riders gallop and use a spike to spear small rings, combining speed with precision. This clearly defined experience offers a different focus from Roman archaeology and can be a separate highlight when planning a trip for 2026.

There are six “talking benches” in the Giardino della Madonna del Divino Amore. They are dedicated to the “unarmed heroes of the caves” of the Second World War. The memorial honours Padre Eugenio Caldarazzo, Alessandro Coppetelli, Augusto Leonardi, Ivan Marinelli, Anna Maria Luiselli and Emilio Sottoriva, who supported the community of Cisterna during the war. At the entrance to the Giardino di Ninfa, there is a large free car and coach park.

Which Accommodation Suits Your Travel Plans?

When looking for accommodation, you can first decide which focus will shape your stay. A holiday apartment in Cisterna Di Latina is a suitable search direction for a trip where you would like to combine historic sites, art and a regional tradition at your own daily pace. If you include the Palio dell’Anello 2026 in your plans, a specific event becomes the main focus; on a more strongly cultural and historical trip, Tres Tabernae, Palazzo Caetani and Piazza 19 Marzo take centre stage. This allows you to align your choice of accommodation with the experiences you actually want to include in your plans.
