This viewpoint is located next to the Carabinieri station. From here you can enjoy a spectacular view of the lake. Looking at it from above, the shape of the crater of the volcano that gave rise to the lake is clearly evident, probably born following five different eruptions (hence the more oval shape compared to other lakes of volcanic origin). On the opposite side of the viewpoint stands Monte Cavo, the ancient Mons Albanus, the highest peak of the Alban Hills.
