Discover Castel Gandolfo and the Pontifical Villas
A few kilometers outside Rome, a unique place to discover: the village of Castel Gandolfo. History, nature, light air and “good people” create in this little town an extraordinary atmosphere. Right here, on the banks of the Alban Lake, stands the papal summer residence: today, for the first time ever, the Apostolic Palace and the Pontifical Villas are open to the world. Visitors will appreciate their artistic, architectonic and botanical wonders, as well as visit hidden corners of the Papal Apartment and discover the private life of the Pontiffs who sojourned in those rooms.

Located in the beautiful green Castelli Romani hills, the Apostolic Palace is situated at the top of a hill that overlooks the pristine Lake Albano. There are two ways to get to Castel Gandolfo. Either depart from Roma Termina Station or take the Pope's private train that departs directly from Vatican City. If you want to be a Vatican VIP, we offer a day trip from Rome that includes a skip the line Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel tour, access to the Vatican Gardens and a visit to Castel Gandolfo on the Pope's train.
Once you arrive in Castel Gandolfo, it's time to experience the enchanting Barberini Gardens. Built over the ruins of Emperor Domitian’s Villa, the gardens are now open to the public as a gesture of goodwill by Pope Francis. These unbelievable gardens are filled with carefully tended hedges, fountains, flowers and ancient Roman ruins. They are so beautiful you must see it to believe it. After working up an appetite, enjoy a feast fit for the Pope himself in the gardens of exclusive organic cheeses, meats and bruschetta that is locally-sourced from this very land.
After you are properly fueled up on delicious chow, explore the town of Castle Gandolfo and all its amazing views. There are plenty of shops, restaurants, art galleries and bars to enjoy in this tiny town. When you've seen the town, enter the the Pope's summer residence (now Museum) for a self-guided tour of the Apostolic Palace. Included on the tour are rooms that include the Pope's office, bedroom and even costumes that the popes of the past once wore. Check out the collection of cars driven by popes that now stay parked in the courtyard of the villa. When you've finished seeing all the attractions in Castle Gandolfo, simply board a bus that takes you back to the bus back down to the local train station and cruise on home to the San Pietro Train Station in Rome.

Palácio de Castel Gandolfo - Itália - Arautos do Evangelho
A cidade de Castel Gandolfo, banhada pelo lago Albano, se encontra a 30 quilômetros ao sul de Roma.

Ele também é conhecido pelo nome de Palácio Apostólico.
Castel Gandolfo: Live from the Pope's Summer Residence
:
He missed seeing the Pope, or sampling the famous porchetta, and was nearly trampled underfoot by pilgrim hordes, but Tony Page enjoyed his visit to this friendly little town occupying high ground on the Alban Hills overlooking Lake Albano, site of the rowing at the Rome Olympics.
Well here we are at Castel Gandolfo and this is the main lake, Lake Albano and the Pope's palace (OK, Summer Residence). Anyway, over there in the distance is the Pope's residence and this is the street that leads to the main square where in a bit I shall show you where the Pope talks occasionally from the balcony. Yep, the Pope is a popular guy around here as you can see from the limited selection of postcards.
Okay, so here we are in the main square and these are some of the pilgrims or whoever -- they're all from France actually -- they've all got their little placards, bus numbers and everything. I've stopped counting at 26 buses, so my God, it certainly was crowded around the car park with lots of people streaming all over the place.
Now this is the main square, let's just walk around here. It was full when we came so maybe the Pope has already been here and given his address, but we missed it.
That is the entrance to the Pope's residence and summer palace at the end and I'll just go down here and you can actually see the Swiss Guards. There, can you see the Swiss Guards? As at the Vatican. Now we go up and we see the coat of arms and this is the balcony where the Pope talks to the assembled multitudes, at least that's what they told me.
The other thing that Castel Gandolfo is famous for is porchetta, which is a sort of a barbecued suckling pig actually. People usually have it in sandwiches or similar ways. In fact it is quite common in Italy. I'll just walk over here and show you this main shopping street. There's no traffic throughout this place. Now let's zoom in and if you look down there you'll see people at some cafes and you can see through the back and if we come in now you'll see there are restaurants which serve up this stuff. As I'm not a meat eater, I can't tell you whether it is any good, but they tell me that it is good ...if you like dead baby pigs...

Castel Gandolfo : refúgio do Papa nas férias
Castel Gandolfo está situada cerca 30 quilometros da capital italiana. No tempo do verão europeu o Santo Padre se desloca a esta pequena cidade que é rodeada de lagos e paisagens naturais.
O centro habitado surge no alto da costa ocidental, no cume do lago Albano, formado a 100 mil anos pelo conjunto de cinco crateras vulcânicas que continuaram suas atividades até remotas épocas históricas.
Castel Gandolfo tem este nome por causa da família Gandolfi, originaria da Liguria, que estabeleceu o seu domínio nos anos 1100.
Este pequeno documentário quer apresentar um pouco das tantas curiosidades e o valor histórico e artístico deste pequeno vilarejo que no verão se torna meta de tantos turistas e peregrinos que participam do Angelus aos domingos, tendo como ilustre hospede o Sumo Pontífice.
