Tor Caldara: an itinerary through geology, environment and history

Geological walks with ISPRA
The Tor Caldara Nature Reserve is located south of Rome, between Anzio and Lavinio, and represents a geological-environmental "diamond" of unique value. The area is a rare testimony of the ancient coastal forests along the coast of southern Lazio and until recently it was exploited for the mining of sulfur, the presence of which is linked to the secondary activity of the Lazio volcanic district.

The excursion will lead visitors to discover the geological and environmental characteristics of the Reserve, which is particularly suitable for educational purposes due to the spectacular secondary volcanic phenomena still active and the naturalistic importance of the habitats present
