Route of Via Praenestina from Rome in a map of ancient Latium.

The Via Praenestina (modern Italian: Via Prenestina) was an ancient Roman road of central Italy.

It was initially called Via Gabina, from Gabii, the ancient city of Latium where it ended. It received the new name having been prolonged to Praeneste (modern Palestrina); after the latter city it continued towards the Apennines towards the source of the Anio River until joining the Via Latina at Anagni.
