The Alban Hills (Latin: Albanus Mons) are a group of volcanic hills located about 20 kilometers southeast of Rome, in the region of Latium, central Italy. This area, known for its rich history and natural beauty, was considered a sacred location in Ancient Rome, home to significant religious sites and settlements. The ancient city of Alba Longa, a significant Latin settlement, was traditionally located in the Alban Hills.[1]
