A tour of the Vatican Gardens - art, nature and faith
Our tour of the Vatican gardens is a journey through 2000 years of history.
A moment to experience nature and art combining in a unique composition of three styles of gardens: English, French and Italian.
Listen to the murmuring of countless fountains, the most grandiose is the Fountain of the Eagle.
View the Pope's little orchard through a gate where we can see rows of lettuce, tomatoes and peas.
Pass by the Lourdes Grotto, a very faithful reproduction of the grotto at Massabielle;
The Tower of St.John once formed part of the mediaeval walls and was arranged by John XXIII as his hermitage.

The Casina Pio IV, built for Pope Pius IV, a Medici, headquarters of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences.
The modern Vatican heliport used by the Pope as his means of transport, both quick and safe.
Not forgetting the Radio Tower. The Vatican Radio was set up in 1931 by the inventor of radio, Guglielmo Marconi.
And many other monuments scattered throughout the gardens, but the most beautiful spot is the Rose Garden along the crest of the hill
And everthing we have seen dominated by the Dome of St. Peter.
