Description
In the territory of the municipality of Veroli, 9 km from the center, on via Maria, - easily reachable also from the Frosinone-Sora highway - stands the abbey of Casamari. It was built on the ruins of the ancient Roman town hall called Cereatae, because it is dedicated to the goddess Cerere. The name Casamari is of Latin origin and means "Mario's house", home of the Roman consul Caius Mario, the famous leader, enemy of Silla. It is one of the most important Italian monasteries of Cistercian Gothic architecture. It was built in 1203 and consecrated in 1217.
