A treasure trove of history and nature 💎 Lake Nemi, anciently called "Diana's Mirror", is one of the most evocative stops in the entire Park of the Roman Castles. Perfect for a loop tour or as a scenic detour. The descent towards the shores offers views that seem painted, with the perched village overlooking the blue water.

Unfortunately, the tour is not practicable at this time due to some fallen trees along the route, but it will surely be cleared of these trees as soon as possible and it is a beautiful ride.

According to tradition, Saint Pancras, to whom this church—the seat of the Bishop of Albano—is dedicated, was publicly executed for his Christian faith at the end of the 3rd/beginning of the 4th century under Emperor Diocletian. The martyr's body was buried on the Roman Via Aurelia—in the catacombs later named after him—beneath the present-day church of San Pancrazio. Saint Pancras' feast day is May 12th; in popular piety, he is one of the three so-called "Ice Saints," along with Saints Servatius and Boniface (in some regions, this is supplemented by "Cold Sophia" one day later).
