Sermoneta. Cyclopean Walls of Monte Carbolino

On Monte Carbolino in Sermoneta you can see a series of terracing made with polygonal or cyclopean walls.

The walls follow the slope and are made with a outer wall and a supporting filling in the middle using smaller stones that connects them to the slope.

The walls were discovered by the archaeologists Paribeni and Mengarelli along with a tomb of the eighth century BC and other material dating back to the sixth century BC.
