The location served as an important Roman outpost in antiquity with grand villas and large bath complexes built during Emperor Caracalla's reign. These Roman remains continue to shape the landscape today.
The Cathedral Basilica of St. Pancras has shaped religious life since its completion in the early 18th century and stands as a gathering place alongside other churches in town.
The commune connects easily to Rome's main station through direct train service and is also served by regular bus routes. Visitors should prepare for varying elevations and pathways given the hilly terrain.
The area has long been known for growing vegetables, fruits, and artichokes and maintains strong agricultural roots. Local wine production also plays an important role in shaping the character of the place.
