✨ The Pope's summer retreat in Castel Gandolfo, together with its beautifully baroque private gardens, is one of the most historically significant must-see venues in the Vatican State. The Pontifical Residence, located 12 miles from Rome in a charming, small village surrounded by Lake Albano, has been at the disposal of the Pope since 1596. Castel Gandolfo, located in the midst of the Castelli Romani Regional Park, allows you to delve into the timeless baroque era and recollect what was once.

🌳 A tree with a thousand-year tale. On top of the Aventine, before the basilica of Santa Sabina, stands a living witness to faith and miracles. Planted by St. Dominic 800 years ago, this orange tree is not just any tree, but a symbol of endurance and hope.

⛪ Entering the Basilica of Santa Sabina on the Aventine Hill entails experiencing a captivating atmosphere.
The oldest representation of the Crucifixion can be found on the magnificent door made of cypress wood, whose executors remain unknown.
A particular tile appears to have attracted the attention of a restorer among all the others. In the scene depicting the Red Sea passage, it appears that the Pharaoh's face, partially submerged by the waters with his army, is actually a small portrait of Napoleon that was remade during a restoration in 1836.

🍊 The Orange Garden of Rome, known in Italian as il Giardino degli Aranci, is one of Rome's finest parks. Nestled on top of the Aventine Hill (Colle Aventino), it is a wonderful public garden with lovely orange trees and a breathtaking view of Rome and St. Peter's dome, framed by the branches of exquisite pine trees.

🪨 The Devil’s Stone in Santa Sabina on the Aventine.
Destination of uninterrupted flows of visitors, Santa Sabina is one of the minor basilicas of Rome and, undoubtedly, it deserves a visit, both for the architectural features and for the mosaic decorations.
✨Fascinated by the most important decorative elements, few are attracted by a small, curious stone resting on a column placed on the back wall of the church.
🪦 The legend remembers this stone as “Lapis diaboli”, that is the stone of the devil. According to the legend this stone is linked to the devotion of Saint Dominic; the Spanish Saint, founder of the Order of Preachers, who often went to the church praying on a plaque that covered the tomb of some Christian martyrs.
