Terrain
The city lies on the plain between the Liri and Rapido. Karst springs on Monte Cassino feed the Gari through the urban area.
Watershed
The Gari, Rapido, Liri, and Garigliano define the local river system.
Climate
Mediterranean climate with warm summers; the mountain is cooler and wetter than the plain.
Connections
Rail (Rome–Naples), motorway A1, and valley roads link Cassino to Rome and Naples.
