{"id":806,"count":19,"description":"The Lazio<\/strong> is the region of which Rome is the capital. It has nearly 5,700,000 inhabitants in 2023. The enclave of the Vatican city, as a state in its own right, lies within the commune of Rome.\r\nThe west is bordered by the Mediterranean of the Tyrrhenian Sea. To the north is Tuscany and Umbria, to the east the Marches and Abruzzo, and to the south the Molise and Campania.\r\nOriginally, Lazio designated a smaller area where lived the tribes of the Latins<\/strong>, around Rome, the Etruscan <\/strong>city of Veii marking a border, and south of it with the Pontine marshes and the Sabine Hills to the territories where other Italic tribes were settled.\r\nIts civilizational heritage extends over more than 2,000 years, with the Etruscan civilization, before being the heart of the Roman Empire, later the territory of the Papal States. See the tourist section on the Region of Rome for tourist information and all the most beautiful places to discover here.\r\n\r\n\"map<\/a>\r\n\r\nNowadays, 5 provinces divide Lazio. Each has its own personality and more or less distinct heritage, both from a civilizational and geographical point of view.\r\nThe province of Rome<\/strong> is rich in archaeological sites, from Ostia with ancient ports to Tivoli and its villas. There are also many natural sites, such as the lakes with the villages of the Roman Castles, natural parks towards the Apennines, and a religious heritage.\r\nThe province of Viterbo<\/strong>, a beautiful medieval town is marked by the historical presence of the Etruscans with its many necropolis, medieval villages, lakes, woods and hills.\r\nTo the south-east, the province of Frosinone<\/strong> is terrestrial and has remarkable Latin villages with their cyclopean walls, but also medieval and natural sites in the Ciocciara region, and a beautiful religious heritage.\r\nSouth of the latter, the province of Latina<\/strong> runs along the coast with not only historic towns and villages such as Gaeta, but also beautiful beaches and coastal portions.\r\nThe province of Rieti<\/strong> is dominated mainly by its hills, lakes and some mountains, around the water town of Rieti, and dotted with small villages like those of the Sabine Hills.","link":"https:\/\/www.bestofrome.fr\/en\/tag\/lazio-region\/","name":"Lazio region","slug":"lazio-region","taxonomy":"post_tag","meta":[],"yoast_head":"\nLazio region -
