Lake Giulianello, also called "Lago La Torre" is the third volcanic lake in the Colli Albani, after Lake Albano and Lake Nemi. In 2007, by decree of the President of the Lazio Region, it was erected as a natural monument. It is an oval-shaped volcanic lake with a perimeter of 1.8 km, and is located between the municipalities of Velletri and Cori, in an exclave administered by the municipality of Artena. Orographically, it can be identified in the plain between the Colli Albani and the Lepini mountains. Site of pleasant scenic beauty, it hosts a remarkable biodiversity of fauna (fish and birdlife) and flora (reed thickets and secular oaks along the shore).
