It opened to the public in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>The gardens of the papal residence, called the Barberini Gardens, were opened to the public in 2014 as a way to increase revenue for the town, which thrived on tourism brought by visitors who came to see the pope during his stay.<\/p>\n<p>For Benedict XVI, the villa was a favorite summer getaway during his pontificate. It was conceded to the Holy See as one of their extraterritorial possessions under the Lateran Pact of 1929.<\/p>\n<p>The villa served as the papal summer residence since the pontificate of Urban VIII during the 17th century. It has a small farm created by Pope Pius XI, which produces eggs, milk, oil, vegetables and honey either for local employees, or for sale in the Vatican supermarket.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.catholicnewsagency.com\/news\/264789\/castel-gandolfo-pope-leo-xiv-to-resume-papal-summer-vacation-tradition-in-lakeside-town\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/www.catholicnewsagency.com\/news\/264789\/castel-gandolfo-pope-leo-xiv-to-resume-papal-summer-vacation-tradition-in-lakeside-town<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Vatican Gardens at Castel Gandolfo is located on the wooded slopes of the Alban Hills, overlooking the blue waters of a small volcanic crater lake. \/ Credit: Courtney Mares\/CNA Rome Newsroom, Jun 17, 2025 \/ 06:47 am (CNA).
