Parco regionale dei Castelli Romani

The protected area spans 15,000 hectares across fifteen municipalities, featuring volcanic lakes, chestnut forests, and Mediterranean vegetation patterns.

The park territory shows evidence of ancient Roman settlements, with archaeological remains of villas and temples dating back to the pre-Neolithic period.

Each municipality within the park boundaries maintains distinct traditions in wine production, particularly in Frascati and Velletri regions.

Visitors can access numerous marked trails around Lake Albano and Mount Cavo, connecting major towns and archaeological sites throughout the park.

The park contains two volcanic lakes, Albano and Nemi, formed in craters of the ancient Lazio volcano that began developing 600,000 years ago.
