TERNI -
The Cascata delle Marmore Waterfalls
The
Cascata delle Marmore (7 kilometres from Terni along the SS. 209
Valnerina) is in an exceptionally beautiful natural setting. The waterfalls are in fact artificial, created by the Romans.
Cascata delle Marmore
In 290 BC the consul Curius Dentatus gave orders for the digging of a canal (Cavo Curiano) to drain the stagnant waters of the river Velino to flow over the Marmore cliff and join the river Nera, 165 metres below.
