Circeo National Park
Coastal forest, dunes and salt lakes on Italy's Lazio plain
Circeo protects the last remains of the Pontine Marshes, from Italy's largest plain forest to four coastal salt lakes and a 22 km strip of dunes. A limestone promontory of 541 m, with Neanderthal caves, gives the park its name.
