Isola del Liri

Isola del Liri, one of the most beautiful places to visit in Ciociaria. The village cuts the Liri river into two branches which, before rejoining, give life to two waterfalls, one to the right and the other to the left of the Boncompagni-Viscogliosi Castle.

The Cascata Grande plunges into the river below right in the center of the village with a drop of 27 meters. It is the most photographed point of Isola del Liri, illuminated in the evening by a suggestive play of lights. The Small Waterfall, or Valcatorio Waterfall, is less scenic but still fascinating. It can be observed from the River Park where it is also possible to see ancient mills and industrial machinery.

On the riverside, an obligatory stop is the Punto Bacio, marked by the "Obligatorio Baciarsi" sign. From the Naples Bridge, you can then head towards the Feltrificio Ippolito e Pisani in the Eustacchio Pisani Gallery which often hosts photographic shows and exhibitions. Here you will also find a panoramic terrace overlooking the Cascata Grande, perfect for a souvenir photo.

A few steps from the Cascata Grande is the Church of San Lorenzo Martire, the scene of one of the most brutal massacres carried out by the French troops retreating from Naples after the fall of the Parthenopean Republic.
