The Pozzo del Merro is a karst sinkhole located in the countryside north of Rome, between the Cornicolani Mountains in Macchia del Barco and Macchia di Gattaceca, in the municipality of Sant'Angelo Romano. According to initial studies by the University of Tor Vergata, the cavity is 392 meters deep, which is the maximum limit the measurements have reached. The probes launched since its discovery have not reached bottom, and the studies continue. This sinkhole has always been known to the locals. In 1890 it appears in the description of a tourist itinerary that leads from Rome to Sant'Angelo Romano, and is described as "a kind of chasm, at the bottom of which extends a small lake and whose very steep sides are covered with trees". https://www.sotterraneidiroma.it/sites/pozzo-del-merro

"On the east side of the Lucretili Mountains, immersed in oak and fir woods, the two Percile lakes, also called "Lagustelli", seem to rest. They are two small bodies of water of karst origin protected by an integral reserve within the Natural Park Regional dei Monti Lucretili. The largest lake, with a diameter of almost 120 meters, is called Fraturno while the smaller one, located a few meters away, is called Marraone" (source: Lazio Nascosto)

These splendid lakes are a testimony of the karst phenomenon on the Lucretili mountains. The largest, the Fraturno lake, exposed to the sun, the smallest enclosed in a deep sinkhole. Immersing yourself in the Fraturno waters is a unique experience if you overcome the initial skepticism of the muddy bottom!

Here we can admire two beautiful lakes of karst origin.
