Sacrofano, Medieval commune in Metropolitan Rome, Italy

Sacrofano occupies 28 square kilometers of land at the base of an extinct volcano within the Regional Park of Veii, north of Rome.

The territory transitioned from Etruscan control through Roman settlements before becoming a medieval stronghold with documented records dating from 780.

The Church of San Giovanni Battista contains valuable religious artifacts, including the relic of St Justin Martyr within its 1515 marble altar.

The Roma-Civitacastellana-Viterbo railway station connects residents to Rome through regular service, with a journey time of approximately 20 minutes.

Three noble families - the Prefetti di Vico, Savelli, and Orsini - controlled this strategic settlement across different periods of medieval Italy.
