Museums Museo Civico The Civic Museum was reopened a few years after several renovations and interventions on the construction. It was opened to the public, for the first time, in 1920 by engineer Oreste Nardini. Nowadays, most of the most important works that were there at the beginning, have been moved to museums far from Velletri, such as the 'Pallas of Velletri', kept in the Louvre Museum in Paris. The gallery is divided into two sections: the archaeological section and that of Geopaleontology and Prehistory of the Alban Hills. The first includes the Sarcophagus of the Labor of Hercules, the Slab of the Prayer, and the Volsche ceramics. The second, on the other hand, is a journey in the Prehistory of the Alban Hills.
Museums Museo Diocesano The Diocesan Museum is based in the former seventeenth-century seminary belonging to the Diocese of Velletri. The collections on display date back to the nineteenth century and were kept in the Cathedral of the city during World War II. The most significant work is the “Veliterna Crux” of an ancient Palermo goldsmith from the eleventh century.
Walls, towers and gates Porta Napoletana Porta Napoletana was built in 1511 in alignment with the ancient defensive wall circle of Velletri. On one of the door jambs there is an intimation that attributed to the Door a real function of a customs barrier. During the eighteenth century the structure underwent several changes, such as the reinforcement of the two side towers of a semicircular shape.
Walls, towers and gates Torre del Trivio The Trivio Tower was built in 1353 as a bell tower of the church of Santa Maria Assunta in Cielo in Velletri. It is characterized by the Lombardy-Gothic style and stands for about 50 meters in height. The facades are distinguished by eight windows each, adorned with green majolica bowls. During the restoration, the cusp was eliminated and currently the Tower has a lower roof.
