Anguillara Sabazia (Italy, Region of Lazio,Province of Rome) is a small town located in the countryside of Rome, around 30 km northwest of the city. It nestles on a small cape on the coast of the Bracciano Lake; its medieval center and its beach make it a popular destination for tourists.
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.
An episode of the popular American sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond was shot in the town.
