Pomezia sulfur
In ancient times, this area was called Albunea, in reference to the small lakes created by the white sulphurous water springs. Until the 1970s, the land was used for sulphur extraction. Among the points of interest there is also a red lake, due to the presence of iron in the ground. Caution is advised, as pedestrian crossing could be risky.
