Anguillara Sabazia (Italy) is a medium-size (15.000 inhabitants) town in the Province of Rome in the region of Latium. It is about 30 km northwest of Rome and nestles on a small cape on the coast of the Bracciano Lake. Anguillara's medieval center is a famous destination for tourists. It is particularly popular with people from Rome, who go there mostly for the beaches, and foreigners, especially the Americans and English.
Anguillara is served by a local train ("FR-3") which connects it with Rome (stations of Ostiense and of Valle Aurelia) in around 40 minutes.
Three kilometres east of the town lies the small, volcanic lake of Martignano, also popular with tourists.
The two lakes and the surrounding area have been declared as Regional Park and are under a strict naturalistic control.
Anguillara Sabazia borders the following municipalities: Bracciano, Campagnano di Roma, Cerveteri, Fiumicino, Rome, Trevignano Romano.
