Yesterday we returned to the nearby medieval town of Veroli, while today we ventured a little further --to Alatri. Both are famous for their Cyclopedan walls--the stones of which are huge, hence the legend that they were built by the Cyclops--quite ironic given that I can only see out of one eye right now. Each town has a number of beautiful churches, very narrow streets (sometimes less than six feet wide), and great architecture. It never ceases to amaze me that people drive through these towns--but what is more amazing is the occasional single-, or even double-car, garage! Also, we often see outdoor frescoes or marian statues above doorways, often where one would least expect it!
