As you make your way through the splendid rooms fit for Kings and Popes, you can admire the 6 centuries worth of artwork, furniture, weaponry, books, and manuscripts, providing you with a genuine glimpse into the private quarters and lives of some of Italy’s most powerful historical figures.

Lake Bracciano is a sight to behold, a pristine volcanic lake surrounded by small craters that are still recognizable today, green with lush forests.
