Built along a remarkably narrow tuff ridge, the center of Zagarolo stretches for two kilometers but measures only about 100 meters across. Sitting at an elevation of 310 meters, this town of 16,922 residents is located 34 kilometers southeast of Rome, surrounded by green valleys.
The southern extension of the Via Francigena pilgrim route cuts directly through the local countryside. The municipal boundaries touch the edge of Rome itself, along with neighboring communities like Palestrina and Monte Compatri.
