A GHOST TOWN AND A LAKE AMONG FLOWERS AND LEGENDS – Norma and Ninfa, Central Italy

http://www.italia.it/en/home.html In the ancient city it is through the so-called Porta Maggiore (but three other doors were carved into the walls). The small medieval town – on top of the slope by Lepine Mountains down to the Pontine Plain – is just over a kilometer from the city walls of the first settlement, founded in 492. C. Cologne Latin America the land of the Volsci, the ancient Norba was built in the manner of a fortress. Overlooking the Pontine plain (high above the lake of the Oasis of Ninfa), the ancient acropolis is, especially around sunset, a beautiful balcony on the plains below, with the Circeo and the Pontine Islands in the background. http://www.italiainfoto.com/gallery/latina/p16876-panorama-su-ninfa-e-la-pianura-pontina-da-norma.html

Destroyed by the troops of Barbarossa, the town had a new life under the rule of the Frangipane, prospering until the sixteenth century when the malaria completely depopulated. Today, the old ghost town is an oasis of WWF, where the charm of history joins the fragrant grace of dozens of exotic plants in its gardens. http://www.lapiccolafontana.it/
