Fonti del Clitunno, Natural springs and park in Campello sul Clitunno, Italy
The springs create a lake with clear green waters spanning 10,000 square meters, surrounded by weeping willows and poplars along the Via Flaminia road.
The water source was so abundant in Roman times that it formed a navigable river to Rome until an earthquake in 440 AD altered its geological structure.
Ancient poets including Propertius, Pliny, Virgil, and later Lord Byron documented their appreciation of these springs through their literary works.
The park operates daily from 8:30 AM to 8:00 PM with an entrance fee of 3 euros for adults and reduced rates for children and groups.
Underground water emerges through rock fissures creating a lake that hosts rare aquatic plants like phanerogams, horsetail, moss, and water nasturtiums.

Umbria preserves traces of over two millennia of history through its archaeological sites, religious monuments, and remarkable natural formations. The region features underground complexes such as Orvieto Underground with its 1,200 passages carved into volcanic tuff, and Narni Underground, revealing medieval chapels and remains of Roman aqueducts. Visitors also explore the Dunarobba Fossil Forest, where 50 petrified tree trunks dating back three million years showcase the region's geological evolution. Medieval castles like Rocca Albornoziana overlook ancient towns, while monasteries such as San Pietro in Valle and Eremo delle Carceri maintain medieval art and spirituality. The Umbrian landscape stretches from Gubbio's Roman theaters to mountain villages like Castelluccio, perched at 1,452 meters (4,764 feet) above sea level, and includes the Nera Natural Park, which protects over 2,120 hectares (5,243 acres) of forests and limestone formations. These sites trace the region’s history from the Etruscan civilization through the Renaissance.
