It is 106 kilometres (66 mi) south of Rome and about 127 kilometres (79 mi) north of Naples.
In 1994, the Ceprano Man, a 450,000 year old prehistoric human skull cap was discovered in the area.
History
Ceprano's origins are connected to a Roman colony founded in 328 BC on the left bank of the Liri River, called Fregellae. The ruins of the city can be seen in the nearby municipality of Arce.
Ceprano was part of the Papal States, from roughly the 6th century until 1870.
