Isola del Liri is an Italian town in Lazio, Frosinone. As its name implies, Isola is situated between two arms of the Liri. The many waterfalls of this river and of the Fibreno are used by factories.

History

Of Volscan origin, Isola del Liri was once in the old Terra di Lavoro region of Campania, but was transferred into Lazio during the Fascist period.

Main sights

About 2 km to the north of the town is the church of "San Domenico", erected in the 12th century, which is said to mark the site of the villa of Cicero.

A spectacular waterfall just above the bridge in the town.
