I forgot: birthplace of the very important late Renaissance composer Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina (https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giovanni_Pierluigi_da_Palestrina)

The current urban core of Palestrina rises on the ancient city of Praeneste, of Latin origin, whose fame, in ancient times, was linked to the Sanctuary of Fortuna Primigenia, a place of worship of considerable historical importance. Palestrina is located at 450 meters above sea level. on the slopes of the Prenestini Mountains. It is one of the richest towns in Lazio in historical, artistic and architectural testimonies, starting with the well-known Palazzo Colonna Barberini. Palazzo Colonna Barberini was built in the 11th century in the place where the Sanctuary of Fortuna Primigenia stood, inside it houses the Prenestino Archaeological Museum. Another important monument is the Sanctuary of Fortuna Primigenia of which some sectors remain today. It is one of the most important testimonies of the late Republican age, its origins date back to the 2nd century BC. Together with the museum, this ancient monument is part of the Lazio museum system. Among the religious buildings that enrich the historical heritage of Palestrina we can undoubtedly mention the Basilica-Cathedral of Sant'Agapito martire built between the seventh and eighth centuries and consecrated in 1117. The facade retains the Romanesque tympanum in its upper part, while the portal of marble dates back to 1503. Traces of an ancient sundial from the Roman era can be seen. The interior consists of three naves divided by pillars with side chapels. The church houses significant works of art, including the depiction of the beheading of Sant'Agapito by Carlo Saraceni in the final chapel of the right aisle, the crucifixion with Maria and San Lorenzo by Girolamo Siciolante da Sermoneta inside the Chapel of San Lorenzo and, a small wooden throne depicting the Savior, preserved in the Baptistery. Continuing the visit of Palestrina, we can admire the Church of Santa Rosalia located near the Palazzo Colonna Barberini. This was built by Maffeo Barberini between 1656 and 1660. Another important place of worship is, without doubt, the Church and the convent of San Francesco built in the fifteenth century. The construction of the church began in 1495 while its consecration dates back to 1504. In the 1600s, at the behest of Urban VIII Barberini, work began on the expansion and restoration of the complex. During the visit to the ancient heart of Palestrina, we will also meet the Church of Sant’Antonio Abate and the 17th century Carmelite convent. Furthermore, we can come across the austere and sober Church of Santa Croce and the Monastery of the Poor Clares dating back to 1565 and consecrated in 1570. Finally, a visit deserves the Church of Santa Lucia, whose external appearance is simple, but hides rich inside and suggestive decorations.
