Inside the pope's centuries-old summer retreat, a 135-acre estate overlooking an Italian lake

Pope Leo XIV is vacationing at the papal summer residence in Castel Gandolfo, Italy, a 135-acre estate featuring gardens, an observatory, and a tennis court. The residence, used by popes since 1626 to escape Rome's summer heat, includes the 17th-century Villa Barberini where the Pope is staying. The estate overlooks Lake Albano and contains multiple properties, including the Apostolic Palace.
