<< BACK

The lake is a minor crater of the Sabatini Mountains, of circular shape with a diameter of 600 m only, 2 km of circumference and a surface of approximately 30 ha. It is recalled for the historic meeting in 1155 between Hadrian IV and Frederick Barbarossa, who is said to have refused to hold the stirrup of the pope's horse.
