One of the most stylistically significant abbeys in Italy and therefore certainly worth visiting is the Casamari Abbey, located in the far eastern territory of the municipality of Veroli, along the Via Mària, halfway between Frosinone and Sora. It stands out, imposing and solitary, close to a rocky hill bordered by the Amaseno stream, which in ancient times marked the border between the Ernici and the Volsci, at 300 meters above sea level. It was built on the ruins of the ancient Roman municipality of Cereatae Marianae (of which the aqueduct that served it is still visible), so named in honor of the goddess Ceres, to whom the place was consecrated, and of the valiant Roman general, Caius Marius, who he was born here and spent the first years of his youth.

The abbey is a minor basilica consecrated in 1217 in Cistercian Gothic style. A beautiful monument to visit!
