Uterus is intraperitoneal - it is inside the peritoneum just like the ovaries and fallopian tubes.
Ligamentum (lig.) latum uteri means the broad ligament of uterus.
Ligamentum (lig.) teres uteri is the round ligament of uterus.
Check out this link to understand the picture.

Please see the web pages for more details on Peritoneum, Uterus, Ovary, Fallopian tube, Broad ligament of the uterus and Round ligament of uterus.
Broad ligament of the uterus is known as ligamentum latum uteri (Latin). Round ligament of the uterus is known as ligamentum teres uteri (Latin).
