Lago di Fogliano (Fogliano lake), Latina, Italy. Monte Circeo is visible in the background. Monte Circeo or Cape Circeo (Italian: Promontorio del Circeo) is a mountain remaining as a promontory that marks the southwestern limit of the former Pontine Marshes. Although a headland, it was not formed by coastal erosion, as headlands are usually formed, but is a remnant of the orogenic processes that created the Apennines. The entire coast of Lazio, on which the mountain and the marsh are located, was a chain of barrier islands that was formed on a horst and made part of the mainland by sedimentation of the intervening graben.
