The town
Rocca Priora is one of the towns in Castelli Romani. It is southeast of Rome in the Lazio region, and rather than having a number of special sights, is simply a nice small town to stroll around in.
You will find varying levels of English spoken in stores and on the street. People are more than helpful though, and you should have no problem finding what you need.

Getting there
The city is reachable by bus with the Cotral S.p.A. service. If coming from Rome, take Metro Line A to Anagnina (last stop in that direction). There will be an electronic departure board showing when the next bus to 'R. Priora' is, or simply walk to Platform 6 where it normally leaves from. You can download a timetable from the Cotral S.p.A. website, be warned the timetable for Rome is massive.
Tickets for the bus should be purchasable from a tobacconist, and if in Rocca Priora there is one almost opposite the bus stop. The bus stop in Rocca Priora is located drops off close to the main piazza.
You will need a 3-zone ticket which should be around 2 euro, good one-way only. Alternatively a day pass which is also valid on the Metro will be 6 euro. The bus stops in a number of other towns depending on the route (Frascati, Monte Porzio Catone, Montecompatri), all of which are interesting points to get out.

What to see, according to Wikivoyage
There are no main attractions in Rocca Priora. But you might be interested in
Parco Madonna della Neve, directly beside the bus stop. There is a number of water taps to refill a water bottle. Walk around the park, or follow the trail behind it which extends into a small hike. Unfortunately it seems to have been vandalized (as of 2011), and a number of the lights and solar charger for them don't work.
St. Mary of the Assumption. a church which you can go into. Rocca Priora Castle. The town hall so you cannot seem to tour. But you can get great views over the entire area.
