Alatri (FR)
 
 
 
 


The "pizzale" of Acropoli

The Alatri Acropolis monument is the symbol of the city and its ancient history. The mammoth construction is made of strong walls arranged in a polygonal shape, and completely surrounds the hilltop, forming a huge trapezoidal-shaped raised landmark. It was presumably begun around the 7th Century B.C. by the Hernic populations.

 

The olive tree has been cultivated on the sunny hills between Alatri and Veroli for centuries, giving us unique oil with the characteristic fragrance of the traditional oil presses and Ciociara land.
