Overlooking Diana's Mirror 🌙 You can't say you've visited the Castelli Romani without having looked out from the little wall in Nemi. From up here, the lake seems still, nestled among the dense woods that were once sacred to the goddess Diana. It's a view that conveys incredible calm. Stop for a moment, breathe in the fresh air rising from the crater, and enjoy the contrast between the red of the strawberries on the balconies and the dark blue of the water.

Castel Gandolfo: The Balcony over the Castelli Romani 🏰 Arriving at Castel Gandolfo and looking out over Lake Albano repays every climb. It's a breathtaking view: the water is a deep, almost hypnotic blue, surrounded by the lush green of the Castelli Romani Park. A mandatory stop to refill your water bottle and feast your eyes before setting off again towards the surrounding woods.

A treasure trove of history and nature 💎 Lake Nemi, anciently called "Diana's Mirror", is one of the most evocative stops in the entire Park of the Roman Castles. Perfect for a loop tour or as a scenic detour. The descent towards the shores offers views that seem painted, with the perched village overlooking the blue water.

Unfortunately, the tour is not practicable at this time due to some fallen trees along the route, but it will surely be cleared of these trees as soon as possible and it is a beautiful ride.

According to tradition, Saint Pancras, to whom this church—the seat of the Bishop of Albano—is dedicated, was publicly executed for his Christian faith at the end of the 3rd/beginning of the 4th century under Emperor Diocletian. The martyr's body was buried on the Roman Via Aurelia—in the catacombs later named after him—beneath the present-day church of San Pancrazio. Saint Pancras' feast day is May 12th; in popular piety, he is one of the three so-called "Ice Saints," along with Saints Servatius and Boniface (in some regions, this is supplemented by "Cold Sophia" one day later).
