3)The Government Palace, actually
seat of the Prefecture, built in 1825
and partially destroyed by the air
raids during the Second World War.
4)The Province Palace was built in the
thirties in a Neoclassic style.
2)The Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, was
rebuilt on the ruins of a primitive Romanesque
style church. The interior is a three-nave building
with two lines of columns which hold the arched
roof. The Baroque style is present in the multi-
colour marbles, altars in the side chapels and
paintings of contemporary artists such as Purifi-
cato.
5)The Skyscraper “Edera” was built in the
seventies. It is 90m high, and is one of
the tallest in Lazio.
1)The square tower, 62 meters
high, dominates the town, it is in
Romanesque style and has three
windows. The oldest document in
which the bell tower is mentioned
dates back to 1674. Certainly the
existing building at that time was
carried out in the medieval period,
since it was attached to St. Mary’s
Church, whose construction was
begun in the first half of the twelfth
century.
7)The fountain “L. De Carolis”is attributed to
the architect Alexander Specchi, known as au-
thor of the famous Steps in Trinità dei Monti in
Rome. Specchi designed the fountain in 1711,
near the existing Sanctuary of Madonna della
Neve, by the will of Livio de Carolis.
6)The Villa Comunale
opened in 2002 after
an accurate restora-
tion, is the largest city
park. The entrance to
the park is characte-
rized by a typical Italian
garden accommoda-
tion, consisting of long
hedges and trees be-
longing to different
species, arranged in
circular flower beds.
8)The river Cosa runs through the lower part of Frosinone from North to South. The
river has always had a great importance in the history of the town since the first hu-
man settlements on its banks in prehistoric and Volscian times: necropolis and remains
of settlements, dating back to VII-VI century B.C, were found along the river.
Frosinone is a town in Lazio, central Italy, the administrative seat of the Province of
Frosinone. It is located about 70 km south-east of Rome close to the Rome-Naples
Highway A1. Frosinone is located on a hill overlooking the valley of the Sacco River,
and is surrounded by the Ernici and Lepini mountain ranges. During the Middle
Ages, Frosinone was destroyed several times by the barbarian invasions first, and
laters by the Lansquenets, by Spaniards in 1556, and it remained faithful to the
Papal authority, which led to the permanent residence in 1557 of the papal gover-
nors in the town. The town also rebelled to Napoleon's occupation in 1798.
