The recent beautiful Mystery Photo was identified by Allan Peel of San Antonio, Tex., who wrote: “Today’s mystery photo is of the Belvedere Gardens, located at the Pontifical Villas of Castel Gandolfo, approximately 15-miles southeast of the Vatican. At the center of the Pontifical Villas of Castel Gandolfo is the the Apostolic Palace, which was built between 1623 and 1629 and served for centuries as the papal summer residence (otherwise known as “the Second Vatican”) until 2016 when, at the behest of Pope Françis, it was transformed into a museum and gardens and opened to the public.
“The Pontifical Villas are spread over 135-acres and are comprised of numerous gardens .Built on the palace grounds of the Roman Emperor Albanum Domitian (AD-51 – AD-96), the Barberini Gardens are home to oak trees, some as old as 400 years.”
The photograph came from Tim Lee of Mobile, Ala.
Also identifying the photo were Stew Ogilvie of Lawrenceville; Jay Altman, Columbia, S.C.; and Susan McBrayer of Sugar Hill, who added: “Now it’s a public museum, but it’s still a property of the Holy See.”
