Isola del Liri

It cannot be said that Isola dei Liri is one of the primary tourist destinations, but nevertheless it is worth briefly inserting in an itinerary for admiring the pleasantries of its center. Unfortunately the most important of its monuments, the Boncompagni Viscogliosi Castle, cannot be visited, but from its dominant position in the center of the town on top of the waterfall, it constitutes a spectacle worth noting.
In fact, the special characteristic of this little town is all in its relationship with water. Although the site was inhabited at the beginning of the Iron Age, its first official documents indicate the birth of the city around 1004, with the name "Colle d'Isola". Its native core rises up from a very little island at the center of the Liri River, in proximity to the confluence with the Fibreno River. Right in the center of the city you can admire the majestic and spectacular Cascata Grande (Big Waterfall), named as such because there was at on time a little one parallel to it that was then closed. Here the waters of the Liri make an almost thirty meter drop; it's "urban" position makes it truly original. At the margins of the waterfall rises the Boncompagni-Viscogliosi Castle, with its park.
The Isola del Liri has hosted the "Liri Blues Festival" for several years and has become an interesting meeting place for those who love this kind of music; it takes place between the end of June and the beginning of July.
