Parco Nazionale del Circeo

Lazio

The Parco Nazionale del Circeo protects the last fragment of coastal primary forest (selva primordiale) in central Italy, an ancient coastal lake system and the Monte Circeo promontory — where Homer placed Circe's palace. Wild boar and fallow deer are common in the forest; the lagoons have wintering wildfowl.
