Riserva Naturale Litorale Romano, State nature reserve in Province of Rome, Italy
Description
The Riserva Naturale Litorale Romano is a protected coastal area south of Rome that combines different landscapes into one space. Within it you find pine forests, wetlands, river outlets, and ancient ruins that make it a diverse natural area.
History
The region was crucial to the Romans long ago, who built harbors and founded urban centers here. Official protection as a nature reserve arrived only in the 1980s to shield these lands from further growth and change.
Culture
The area carries deep roots in ancient Roman times, with traces of harbors and settlements visible throughout the land. Visitors experience this past woven into the present landscape as they explore the reserve.
Practical
The area is best explored on foot for walking and wildlife spotting, with pathways throughout the reserve. Multiple entry points from different sides mean planning ahead helps you choose the spot that fits your plans.
Did you know?
The Tiber River flows through the land and creates a river delta with a shifting water system unlike many reserves. This constantly changing waterway offers different birdwatching and wildlife spotting depending on the season you visit.
