Monte Cavo
Monte Cavo is the second-highest peak of the Alban Hills south-east of Rome, rising to about 950 metres above Lake Albano. In antiquity, as Mons Albanus, it carried the sanctuary of Jupiter Latiaris, where the Latin peoples and later the Roman consuls celebrated the annual Latin festival. Roman tradition placed Alba Longa on the slopes nearby.
