Its origins are rooted in remote eras, long before the advent of Rome, as evidenced by the imposing Cyclopean walls that surround its historic center. Known as the "City of the Cyclopes" or the "City of Polygonal Walls," Alatri boasts a history intertwined with that of the Hernici, an ancient Italic people. Its development has been marked by various dominations and influences, from the Romans to the Lombards, up to the medieval period that has left an indelible imprint on its architecture and urban structure.

Its Cyclopean walls, built with giant dry-stone blocks, are an architectural enigma that continues to amaze. Within it, you can find the Porta Maggiore, or Porta dell'Arce, an extraordinary example of megalithic architecture, and the Porta Minore, or Porta dei Falli, so named for the phallic sculptures that once adorned it, symbols of fertility and prosperity.
