Veroli (Verulae) became a Roman municipium in 90 BC. It became the seat of a bishopric in 743 AD, and was occupied by Spanish soldiers, allied to the Colonna family, in the 16th century.
Veroli retains elements of its ancient polygonal nucleus, especially near the summit of the hill, later occupied by a medieval castle. The Cathedral's treasury contains the breviary of St. Louis of Toulouse, and some interesting reliquaries, one in ivory with bas-reliefs, and two in the Gothic style, of silver gilt.[3] Near Veroli is the Gothic Abbey of Casamari. In Via Garibaldi is located Sant'Erasmo, a Romanesque architecture, Roman Catholic church and convent.
