"The Solfatara of Canale Monterano is an important geological manifestation located within the Monterano Regional Nature Reserve, in the province of Rome. This solfatara represents a residue of the volcanic activity of the Sabatini Mountains and offers an interesting example of a hydrothermal phenomenon. It is located along the Mignone river, within the Monterano Regional Nature Reserve".

Temporarily closed for construction until the end of January.

The sulphate is suggestive for the gurgling of the water that emerges.

The ancient Canale Monterano always gives its charm to visitors. Most people know this place because the famous film "Il Marchese del Grillo" with Alberto Sordi was filmed there; but in reality its walls tell dramatic stories, linked to the escape from the city invaded by the plague..

The “very capricious” Lion fountain was built in the second half of the 17th century on the rocky base that supported the load-bearing walls of the ducal palace of Monterano (Palazzo Altieri). At the top of the cliff was the stone lion depicted in the act of striking the rock with a paw to release an abundant waterfall of water. The water fell between the rocks and collected in the basin dug into the same rock. The surprising fountain, a demonstration of the genius of its creator, Gian Lorenzo Bernini, must be counted among the most significant examples of Baroque art. https://road2rome.it/fontana-del-leone-di-palazzo-altieri/
