Itri - San Michele Archangelo
According to legend, the name Itri derives from the mythological Hydra. Itri is said to have been founded when the residents of the fabled coastal town of Amyclae fled inland from a plague of snakes. In fact, given its location on the Via Appia, the name of the municipality could come from the Latin word iter (=way).
During WWII Itri was severely damaged by Allied bombing and 75% destroyed.
The church was built by the Normans on a previous pagan temple in the 11th century. The interior of the church has lost its medieval appearance totally, only the lions and the pillars have survived.
