In the northeast of Lazio is Rome and the province of Viterbo. The city of the same name, located 100 km north of Rome, was the favorite residence of the Roman popes. The north of Lazio was once the center of Etruscan civilization. Until now, artifacts from ancient times have survived here: the tombs of Cerveteri and Tarquinia, the ruins of Veio, the excellent museums in Vulci and Tarquinia.
To the northeast of Rome are the Sabina Mountains (remember the numerous paintings and sculptural groups dedicated to the abduction of Sabine women by loving Romans? ). East of Rome is Tivoli, which houses the famous fountain garden and the ruins of Villa Adriana
Appia Road (Via Appia), built by ancient Romans, connects Rome with the cities of southern Italy, and is still in use. To the south of Rome are: the fishing port of Anzio, as well as Frascati, famous for its wine, the coastal cities of Gaeta and Sperlonga, and the thermal resort of Fiuggi.
