The ruins of the Latin city of Tusculum high in the hills above Frascati: Roman theatre, forum, the paved road and views as far as Rome; open on Sundays.

Tusculum was a Latin city, ally and rival of Rome, high in the Tusculan hills, at about 670 metres. It was destroyed in 1191 and never rebuilt, so today it is a park: the Roman theatre on the slope, the forum, stretches of road, remains of the medieval fortress and, all around, woodland and meadows with a view over the whole countryside as far as Rome.
