The first historical population of the area was the Aurunci. In 375, during the late Roman Empire, a village known as Petrinum was founded after an earthquake had destroyed the town of Sinuessa. In the Middle Ages, it was occupied by the Normans who built (or re-built) an important castle here.
Mondragone is very famous for the production of a cheese, mozzarella. It is also famous for the Falerno wine, the scrippella (a local sweet fried in olive oil, with a typical spiral form) and the Guappa (a liquor made with hoax's milk).
Mondragone is also a thermal and seaside town. If you came here, you can see and visit lots of monument like: Ducal Palace, la Rocca on Mount Petrino, Tarcagnota, Paladino's tower, the archaeological museum and the Roman ruins. You can see also lots of important churches: S.Anna a Monte's Church, Belvedere's Sanctuary, San Michele's Church, San Franceco's Church and others.
