Ferentino

Ferentino lies above the Sacco Valley, its historic centre rising on a limestone hill below the Monti Ernici. Known in antiquity as Ferentinum, it was an important settlement of the Hernici before entering Roman territory. Massive polygonal stone walls still define the acropolis, where the Romanesque Cathedral of Saints John and Paul stands as a focal point of the old town. Porta Sanguinaria, an ancient gateway built into the fortifications, recalls the continuity of settlement here across many centuries. Ferentino remains a working Lazio town whose streets and squares retain a strong connection to its ancient layout.
