Villa Cetinale

Highlight • Historical Site

Just the sight of the facade and the front garden is already impressive. But you have to look over the gate to get an insight. Otherwise there are also garden tours, as can be read in the picture above.

View of Villa Cetinale and the Stairway

Highlight • Viewpoint

This staircase connects Villa Cetinale and Remitorio. In this way food was brought to the banished brother of the former Pope in the Remitorium, his hermitage.
The staircase is only accessible from the top and is a great way to catch a glimpse of Villa Cetinale and enjoy the views.
It impresses how dead straight she leads down.

Romitorio di Cetinale

Highlight • Historical Site

Here, one of the former popes banished his brother from the lower-lying Villa Cetinale to the hermitage. The building can only be viewed from the outside, but still worth seeing. The view is phenomenal.

Highlight • Religious Site

Saint John the Baptist (San Giovanni Battista), to whom this church was dedicated, is - like Saint Joseph - a man on the threshold from the Old to the New Testament. His parents are Zacharias and Elisabeth. After the announcement of God's incarnation, the Mother of God visits her relative Elisabeth, who will give birth to a son in her old age, John the Baptist. He is half a year older than Jesus and is considered his forerunner/pioneer. He lives in the desert, preaches repentance from sins to the Jewish population and baptizes them in the Jordan. Jesus also comes there to be baptized, and is filled with the Holy Spirit who descends on him from heaven.
The feast day of San Giovanni Battista in the saints' calendar is on June 24th, exactly half a year before 'Holy Eve'.
