Ferentino, Medieval hill town in Frosinone Province, Italy
Ferentino rises 393 meters above sea level, featuring ancient stone walls, medieval gates, and narrow streets overlooking the Sacco Valley in Lazio region.
The Romans captured this Hernici settlement in 364 BC, transforming it into a strategic municipium for holding important hostages along the Via Latina route.
The Cathedral of Saints John and Paul contains a 12th-century mosaic pavement created by Magister Paulus, displaying medieval religious art techniques.
Local buses connect Ferentino to neighboring cities, while the town center requires walking through stone-paved streets between historical buildings and monuments.
The ancient fortification system combines two construction methods: lower walls built with limestone blocks and upper sections made with rectangular tuff blocks.
