Excursions Among the Villages of Lake Bracciano
Bracciano Lake (also called Sabatino) is a volcanic lake that fills a deep depression, covering an area of 56.5 km². Its waters touch not only the village of Bracciano but are equally shared with Anguillara Sabazia and Trevignano Romano. All three towns are places of not only scenic interest but also historical and cultural significance, and on a trip to the lake, visiting them is almost a must!
In Bracciano, you can visit the imposing Orsini-Odescalchi Castle, its five towers, and rooms rich with frescoes and works of art. Built in the Middle Ages, it still stands tall across Italy today. Check out our dedicated pages!
