LAZIO

This is the cradle of Occidental civilization and Christian culture, of lakes and legends, of thermal spas and history, of ancient roads and verdant hills.
Lazio is a region of central Italy bordered by the Tyrrhenian Sea, traverse by the waters of the Tiber River and mainly characterized by hills and mountains, while it slopes down near the coast.
This region has different yet complementary features, unblemished sceneries and spectacular horizons among the towns.

Just outside the city are the baths of Caracalla, the Via Appia Antica, the Castelli Romani, the ruins of Ostia Antica and the Catacombs.
