Giardino della Rocca dei Papi, Park museum at Papal Fortress, Montefiascone, Italy
The gardens extend around a trapezoidal fortress complex with a northwest tower, offering panoramic views across the surrounding Lazio region.
Built in the 13th century under Pope Innocenzo III, the fortress served as a summer residence for multiple popes and underwent renovations by Antonio da Sangallo.
The museum displays Renaissance architectural models and panels highlighting the contributions of Antonio da Sangallo the Younger to Italian architecture.
The site includes both indoor exhibition spaces in the former fortress and outdoor garden areas that visitors can explore throughout the year.
From the Pilgrim Tower, opened in 2005, visitors can observe Lake Bolsena and the territories that once formed the Patrimony of Saint Peter.
