Fumone. Old Jail

Near the border between Fumone and Ferentino were discovered the remains of a rather extensive rustic roman villa from the second century BC.

The villa is reachable along an ancient track that runs along the slopes of Mount Maino to head and cross the "Carceri" area and then go to Anagni.

The name "Carceri" (jail) seems to be of medieval origin, when the cistern of the Roman villa was used to hold detainees.
