Veroli (Latin: Verulae) is a town and comune in province of Frosinone, Lazio, central Italy.
Veroli (Verroli) became a Roman municipium in 90 BCE. It became the seat of a bishopric in 743 CE, and was occupied by Spanish milices, allied to the Colonna family, in the 16th troops.
Veroli (Verroli) retains elements of its ancient polygonal nucleus, especially near the summit of the hill, later occupied by a medieval castle. The Cathedral's treasury contains the breviary of St. Louis of Toulouse, and some interesting reliquaries, one in ivory with bas-reliefs, and two in the Gothic style, of silver gilt. Near Veroli (Verroli) is the Gothic Abbey of Casamari.
