The Pope's summer residence is a 17th century building in the centre of the town. Popes Pius XII (1958) and Paul VI (1978) died at Castel Gandolfo. Part of the palace is built on the ruins of the summer home of the Roman Emperor Domitian. These extensive ruins are fascinating but, unfortunately, not open to the public without making special arrangements.
Lake Albano. You can walk or run all the way round the lake. This is mainly road but there are 3km or so that follow a rough track through a wood. Swimming is possible and there are few small beaches of volcanic sand.
