Occipital Lobe
The occipital lobe is located in the posterior part of the cerebral hemispheres:
posterior to the temporal lobe and parietal lobe
the occipital lobe is partially separated from the parietal lobe by the parietooccipital fissure.
In addition, there is only virtual separation between the temporal lobe and occipital lobe.
