Location: Torre di Cicerone (630 m)      by: Giuseppe Marzulli
Area: Italy      Date: 23 August 2025
The Acropolis of Arpino, also called Civitavecchia (Old Town), is an archaeological site located in Arpino, one of the most important for understanding the megalithic architecture of southern Lazio (in the panorama, the megalithic walls aren't visible).
But Arpino is also known because, in one of its hamlets, Cicero, the most famous lawyer of ancient Rome, was born there in 106 BC.
I am, as Herwig said, on the so-called Cicero Tower. In reality, the tower is of medieval origin, so Cicero never saw it.

The memorable hill in the distance brings me to Sora, and than I looked for some villagios on hilltops. I stopped at the torre di Cicerone
