Until the 1940's most believed that the craters on the moon were volcanoes. Although this isn't true, there are a few small volcanoes there. Crater Arago is close to two of the largest lunar volcanoes. They are Arago alpha and beta. They are very small compared to craters (about 15 km wide and a few hundred meters high.) In this photo you can also see a couple of smaller volcano domes below Arago. Craters Ritter and Sabine are true twin craters. They were formed at the same time when a binary asteroid struck.
