Parks, Gardens & Lakes
Lazio's landscape features a diverse collection of manicured Renaissance estates and natural volcanic formations. This selection highlights UNESCO-listed masterpieces like Villa d’Este’s fountain systems and Villa Lante’s Mannerist water features alongside the medieval ruins of the Garden of Ninfa. The region's volcanic history is evident in the deep caldera lakes of Bolsena, Bracciano, and Vico, which offer clear waters for recreation.
