It conquered and absorbed the neighboring town of Ferento (see Ferentium) in its early history. It is approximately north of the Autostrada A90 on the Via Cassia, and it is surrounded by the Monti Cimini and Monti Volsini. The historic center is surrounded by the medieval walls of Viterbo, which are still mainly intact, built during the 11th and 12th centuries. Entrance to the walled center of the city is through ancient gates.
