Alban Hills
The Alban Hills are the remains of an extinct volcano about 20 kilometres south-east of Rome, with crater lakes such as Lake Albano and Lake Nemi. In Roman tradition they were the site of Alba Longa, the mother city of the Latins, and of the Latin festival on the Alban Mount. Towns such as Tusculum stood on their slopes.
