Ostia Antica
The remains of the seaport of Ancient Rome are dated from the 4th century BC. It's regarded as the oldest Roman settlement and is situated about 25 km from the capital. Above all merchants, seamen and slaves lived here. Diseases and wars died out the city and little by little it sank in ooze that fortunately preserved it. Nowadays well preserved temples, dwellings, theatres and mosaics can be visited.

Villa Adriana
The manor of the emperor Hadrian is situated 30 km outside Rome. It's the biggest palace grounds of a Roman emperor and was enlarged by Hadrian in the 2nd century AD.

Necropolis of Cerveteri
Cerveteri in the north of Lazio is regarded as the most important Etruscan city. The countless mounds around town are part of the UNESCO world heritage.

The oldest date back to the 7th century BC.

Lago di Bolsena
The lake of Bolsena is one of the largest Italian lakes and captivates through its high water quality. On the beaches of the elliptic lake the black sand reveals the volcanic origin of the stretch of water. A law prohibits a mass development of the shore, which has preserved a lot of the lake's originality.
