There is no certain information about the origins of Bracciano, on the Via Claudia overlooking the lake. It probably rose from one of the numerous towers built in the tenth century as a defence against the Saracen attacks, as implied by the ancient name of Castrum Brachiani.
Bracciano is famous for its volcanic lake and for a particularly well-preserved medieval castle, Castello Orsini-Odescalchi, one of the most noteworthy examples of Renaissance military architecture in Italy.
Main sights are: the lake, the church of Santo Stefano, the Communal Palace.
3 km outside the city, alongside the road leading to Trevignano Romano, is the ancient church of San Liberato (ninth century).
