The Sanctuary of Fortuna Primigenia is a religious complex from the time of the Roman Republic. This ancient sanctuary is situated in Praeneste (known today as Palestrina), not far from Rome. The Sanctuary of Fortuna Primigenia was famed for its oracular cult, and remained active until the late 4 th century AD. The sanctuary lost its religious function in the centuries that followed, and a town was built over its ruins during the Middle Ages. It was only after the Second World War that the ancient monument was visible once more, as much of the town had been destroyed by Allied bombings. Today, the Sanctuary of Fortuna Primigenia is a tourist destination. Sanctuary of Fortuna Primigenia: Dedicated Goddess Fortuna Primigenia
