Explore the pope’s private gardens, now restored to their former glory, featuring the reconstructed griffin fountain and vibrant flower-filled meadows.A new experience is now available with original interpretive narratives and the opening of previously inaccessible rooms. The tour, structured around three themes, is enriched with educational tools: interactive models, documentary films, explanatory panels, and updated signage.
