San Lorenzo Nuovo

San Lorenzo Nuovo rises above Lake Bolsena in Lazio, its elevated setting helped prompt the late-18th-century transfer of residents from the older settlement of San Lorenzo alle Grotte. The town was created under Pope Pius VI as a planned replacement, and its orderly streets still distinguish it from many of the older hill towns around the lake. Lake Bolsena fills a volcanic caldera and remains the defining feature of this corner of northern Lazio, within the historic Tuscia area. Ruins at San Lorenzo alle Grotte recall the community’s earlier home. Browse other regional webcams to compare lakeside and upland settings around Lake Bolsena.
