Riserva naturale Tevere-Farfa, Regional nature reserve at Tiber and Farfa rivers confluence, Metropolitan City of Rome, Italy.
Description
Riserva naturale Tevere-Farfa is a protected area at the confluence of the Tiber and Farfa rivers with wetlands, forests, and riverine landscapes. These interconnected habitats provide space for diverse plants and animals to thrive.
History
The reserve came into being after a hydroelectric dam was built between 1953 and 1955, which created a large lake and changed the local ecosystem. This transformation eventually led to recognition of the site's value for nature conservation.
Culture
The River Museum in Nazzano displays exhibits about water ecosystems through multimedia installations that show how humans and nature relate to each other. Visitors can learn here about the local importance of rivers and their role in daily life.
Practical
You can walk marked trails with observation points or join boat tours to see the nature from the water. A visit works best on foot or with a guide to explore the different habitats.
Did you know?
The area was recognized in 1977 as a Ramsar wetland site because of its water bird population including mallards, coots, and marsh harriers. This international designation shows how important the location is for migratory birds and water wildlife.
