At Velletri the remains of a Late Archaic sanctuary (ca. 530 BCE) were discovered beneath the church of the SS. Stimmate di S. Francesco. The site is often referred to as "Tempio delle Stimmate"; Cardinal Stefano Borgia discovered it in 1784. The architectural terracottas from the sanctuary are part of the so-called "Veio-Roma-Velletri" decorative system.
