Lake of Cillarese

Lake of Cillarese is a nature reserve near Brindisi that contains a large artificial reservoir where diverse water animals and plant species live. The water and surrounding landscape provide habitat for many water birds and other living things.

The lake was built as a dam to store water for farming and human use, and was later recognized as a protected area. Converting it to a nature reserve helped preserve the wildlife and plants of the region.

The lake draws local observers and nature enthusiasts who come to watch water birds in their habitat. The shore and water are part of daily life for many people who visit or use the area.

The lake can be reached by several paths that run around the water and offer spots for observing and photographing. It helps to wear sturdy shoes and bring water and sun protection.

This lake is actually a reservoir that serves two purposes: it provides water for farming while also being home to animals and plants. This dual role shows how people and nature can exist side by side.
