Picture of the gardens of Pope's summer residence of Castel Gandolfo, south of Rome, taken on March 22, 2014 in CastelGandolfo. From March 1st, the gardens surrounding the papal summer residence are open to the public. Located south of Rome in the Alban hills, the property includes the extensive Barberini gardens, the remains of a Roman villa and a 62 acre farm, as well as the ancient papal palace. A statement from the director of the Vatican Museums says it was Pope Francis himself who decided to make accessible to all the gardens of the Pontifical Villas. A guided tour of the gardens, in Italian or English, will be available to individuals or groups through an online booking system.
