These, the nearest ones to Rome, enlose the Roman country-side to the south-east, appearing with their highest peaks up to the centre of the capital. The Castelli Romani, wich offer architectural beauty, archaelogical sites of great historial renown and striking atmosphere, are immersed in a rich background of wine making and gastronomic traditions. These towns are set around beautiful lakes, surrounded by woodlands. From them, ones glance can look down towards the green fields of Pontina Plain, and then, upwards from the promontory of Monte Circeo and the islands of Ponza and Ventotene. As well as being famous for gastronomical and touristic culture, i Castelli Romani also offer opportunities for sport (Windsurfing on Lake Albano, horsemanship, hang-gliding). The lakes, the paths through the woods, the green meadows, flowery rocks ideally present themsewes for autodoor activities. For visitors who prefer peaceful walks the Alban Hills offer a choice of excursions of great beauty and striking views. The Regional Park and Velletri Council have pain-stakingly worked out various itineraries. |
