Norba

8km/5mi north of Ninfa, at Norba (417m/1,376ft; pop. 4,000), are the remains (15 minutes' walk on a hill track) of the old Volscian city of Norba, which became a Latin colony in 492 B.C. and was destroyed by supporters of Sulla during the Roman civil wars. The site, surrounded by a polygonal wall 2.5km/1.5mi long (fourth century B.C.), contains the remains of four temples (museum).
