Artena, Hilltop commune in Metropolitan City of Rome, Italy.
The town stands at 420 meters elevation, offering views over the Sacco River valley and the surrounding Monti Lepini mountain range.
Originally named Monte Fortino until 1873, this settlement faced multiple attacks from papal armies in 1526, 1543, and 1557 due to anti-papal positions.
The annual celebration of Mary Magdalene on July 22 brings together residents for traditional festivities, local food, and community gatherings.
Located 40 kilometers southeast of Rome by rail and 30 kilometers by road, Artena provides convenient access through regular public transportation connections.
The ancient fortifications, constructed with cyclopean limestone blocks in the 5th century BC, remain visible at the Piano della Cività archaeological site.
