Garigliano
The Garigliano is a river in central Italy, formed by the Liri and Gari rivers and flowing into the Gulf of Gaeta. In the late 9th century Arab raiders built a fortified base near its mouth, destroyed in 915 by a Christian coalition of the papacy, the Byzantines and southern Italian princes. In 1503 the Spanish under Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba defeated the French on its banks.
