The natural beauties of Bracciano Lake, its archaeological and artistic heritage, its history and culture renders this area an appreciated tourist destination, situated in the north of Rome that is reachable by the Cassia way. The lake, than the Romans called Sabatinus is the second of Lazio by extension and is fed by the Arrone river, that from Anguiliara flows into the Tyrrhenian sea near Fregene.

On the shores of the lake, surrounded by woodds and ulive, they rise three beautiful localities: Bracciano, Trevignano Romano and Anguillara Sabazia and other small villages as Manziana where we can admire a wonderful scenery on all the district. The Bracciano Lake has a surface of 57 Km2 and a circular perimeter of 32.5 Km and is a volcanic lake, which occupies the old Sabatino volcano. For the beauty and the variety of its vegetation and  fauna this territory represents a true ecological oasis and a small paradise for the natural lovers.

The Bracciano Lake is encircled by many castles that the local population built in order to defend against the saracen invasions, and that became the residences of nobles who inhabited these villages. From the end of the eleventh century the territory of Bracciano was property of the Prefetti di Vico family, that constructed its stronghold on the Saint Giacomo hill top. At the beginning of XV century became a possession of the Orsini family that transformed the stronghold in the present castle. In 1496 the territory was besieged from the troops of Pope Alexander VI. The convent of Saint Maria Novella, that nowadays accommodates the Civic Museum and the Comunale Historical Archives and the bastion "la Sentinella" represent the most beautiful historical sites of the zone.

On the Bracciano Lake it is possible to stay in splendid hotels, farm holidays, bed and breakfast and holiday houses that often are set in the characteristic villages or on the surrounding hills.
