Castel Gandolfo Essentials

Castel Gandolfo is defined by its long-standing association with the Papacy and its dramatic setting overlooking the volcanic Lake Albano. This selection features the 17th-century Apostolic Palace and the adjacent Pontifical Villas, which encompass the ruins of Emperor Domitian’s 1st-century country estate. Key sites include Gian Lorenzo Bernini’s Baroque collegiate church and well-preserved Roman structures like the ancient cryptoporticus and private theater. The town’s elevated position provides expansive views across the crater lake and the surrounding Alban Hills.
