The central Italian region of Lazio borders the Tyrrhenian Sea, and is the home of Italy's capital city, Rome.
It combines rich history with diverse landscapes, from ancient ruins to coastal beaches. Highlights include Rome's iconic landmarks like the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Vatican City. Outside the capital, attractions such as Tivoli's Villa d'Este and Hadrian's Villa showcase Renaissance and Roman heritage. The region also features medieval towns like Viterbo, the picturesque lakes of Bracciano and Bolsena, and coastal resorts like Sperlonga, offering a blend of cultural and natural beauty. |
