Palestrina, located in the Lazio region about 35 kilometers east of Rome, is a historic Italian city with deep roots extending back to ancient times. Originally known as Praeneste, it was an important center of the Latin League and later became a significant Roman city.
The city is particularly notable for the remains of the massive Temple of Fortuna Primigenia, an ancient Roman sanctuary complex that dominates the hillside and represents one of the largest sacred buildings of the Republican period.
During the Renaissance, Palestrina gained prominence in musical history as the birthplace of Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, a renowned composer who revolutionized sacred music in the 16th century. Today, the city preserves its rich archaeological heritage while maintaining its character as a living cultural center, with several museums housing important collections of ancient Roman artifacts and musical memorabilia.
