    Documentation:
    The Alban Hills (Italian: Colli Albani, rarely Monti Albani; also Alban Hill or Alban Mountains) are the remains of a formerly volcanic ring mountain range, the complex of the Vulcano Laziale, with a circumference of approx. 60 km in Lazio, 20 km south-east of Rome and 24 km north of Anzio. The summit of Monte Cavo (950 m) dominates this massif, but the opposite Maschio delle Faete, a summit of the Monti delle Faete, is the highest elevation at 956 m.[1] The volcano was from 600,000 BC. Chr. to 20,000 BC Chr. active.[2] There is a break in the old ring in the southwest, formed by two crater lakes, Lake Albano, Lago Albano, and Lake Nemi, Lago di Nemi. The Alban Hills were the Albanus Mons for the ancient Romans. At the summit stood the temple of Jupiter Latiaris, the federal sanctuary of the Latins, where the consuls celebrated the feriae Latinae, and some Roman generals celebrated their triumphs when they were denied a triumphal procession in the city. The temple no longer exists; the Roman road leading to it, the via triumphalis, can be visited. The area of ​​the Alban Hills, especially around the crater lakes, was already in ancient times a popular summer retreat for the Roman nobility, who had villas built to escape the heat and dirt of the capital. Because of their attractive landscape, they have often been visited by painters.
