Dear visitors,
considering the continuation of the health crisis and the still uncertain situation, we communicate that, at the moment, the Pontifical Villas of Castel Gandolfo and the Apostolic Palace are expected to reopen to the public from Saturday 8 May.
Visits will be organised according to the criteria briefly described below.
These rules are necessary to ensure that your visit can take place in the best and safest conditions. Therefore they prevail over the ordinary conditions reported in the individual sections of our official website.
For this reason, we invite you to take due note of them before making your reservation and to keep them in mind during your visit to our collections.
Our Office of Services and Public Relations remains at your disposal to provide useful assistance and to answer your questions (email: accoglienza.villepontificie@scv.va).
The Pope’s Summer Residence and Gardens await you with pleasure!
