From Benevento, our two travellers re-joined the Via Appia and made their way to their final stop at Terracina, on the southern coast of Lazio. Terracina was a popular stop for travellers from Rome, so there are many images from the city in the BSR Archive. Ashby took various photographs whilst there, but he also had images taken by Agnes and Dora Bulwer in his photo albums. Pictured is the cathedral at Terracina by one of the Bulwer sisters.
