Palazzo Bonanome ha origine medievale e nasce come dipendenza del vicino Castello medievale. Con il passaggio del castello ai prìncipi Colonna, il Palazzo diviene dal 1523 la sede del Governatore di Ceccano. In seguito, viene acquisito dalla famiglia Bonanome, originaria di Milano, nella prima metà dell'800 e venne quindi sistemato nelle forme attuali. L'area inferiore dell'edificio è caratterizzata da eleganti stanzoni arricchiti con arredi ottocenteschi, dai quali si accede ad un suggestivo giardino pensile con agrumi e piante aromatiche. Quest'area del Palazzo attualmente è visitabile su richiesta ed utilizzata come cornice per cene, eventi culturali, cerimonie, meeting e servizi fotografici.

Il Ponte della Badia, chiamato anche ponte del diavolo, è una struttura imponente che mostra diverse fasi costruttive. Il nome Ponte del Diavolo fu dato dalla popolazione in epoca medievale, in quanto per credenza dell'epoca (ignari delle grandezze romane ed etrusche) solo il Diavolo era in grado di realizzare un ponte del genere con archi così alti ed ampi.

We visited the Capitoline Hill several times, to enter the musei capitolini and to enjoy the view over the forum romanum from here. What a stunning view! Especially on a clear sunny day you can see the monuments very well and identify the buildings with the help of a guide book. Some tours start here to prepare for a visit to the forum and a string of groups can be seen in the course of the day. There is a cafettaria to the right of the capitolini museum entrance, around the corner after fifteen meters or so, second floor. There is excellent coffee/cappuccino here, very nice pastry and some sandwiches. Its free terrace again provides an excellent view of the north western side, including at some distance the St. Peter’s dome. Enjoy!

Every day at noon, the canon fires (blancs of course) across the city a tradition since 1847, on the order of Pope Pius IX. In addition to a spectacular view there is an interesting park with the statue of Giuseppe Garibaldi on his horse and along the road nearby busts of famous soldiers who died in the process of the unifaction of the various states and the battles that ensued. Further along can be found Giuseppe's wife Anita also on horse-back, a pistol in one hand her baby in the other - some girl!
