    Lake Lentini, or biviere di Lentini, is located in the province of Syracuse, in Sicily. According to legend, it was created by the hero Hercules, while some believe it was the work of the Templars in the 12th century. Dried up in the 20th century, it was later rebuilt in the 1970s. Today it is an oasis for migratory birds and nesting species.
