Via Sacra is a beautiful paved road from the Roman era that climbs to the top of Monte Cavo. Today it is famous above all for the panoramic point to which it leads, called Occhialone, from which you can enjoy a suggestive panorama that simultaneously embraces the two lakes of the area, that of Albano and that of Nemi.

Tempesta Spring

Highlight • Natural Monument

This large fountain is located in one of the main junctions of the trail system of the Colli Albani park. It is a seasonal source so the presence of water is not guaranteed all year round. It is a very suggestive place to immerse yourself in nature, despite being just a few steps from Via dei Laghi.
