Here we see Polish pilgrims in Castelgandolfo. They have arrived to see the Pope! When you visit, if you have a rental car, be sure to visit the other side of the rim overlooking the lake, the town of Rocca di Papa. From this overlook, one can see Castelgandolfo and much of the regional park that surrounds the area, the Colli Albani. When the sun descends into the Tyrrhenian Sea, the vista of the whole of the Roman plain unveils itself! The filigree sheen of the lake is awesome to behold at dusk! The old aqueducts and columns of antiquity recede into the folds of the country landscape. One can even walk all around the lake as I have, at dusk. There is a nature trail for much of the walk.
