Vatican Gardens in Minibus, Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel

Single ticket

The gardens have been the resting and meditation place of the Roman Pontiff since 1279, when Pope Nicholas III (Giovanni Gaetano Orsini, 1277-1280) moved the papal residence back from the Lateran to the Vatican.
Within the new walls, which had to be built to defend his residence, the Pope had an orchard (pomerium), a meadow (pratellum) and a real garden (viridarium) planted.
