Pope Leo XIV resumes tradition of taking summer vacation

Popes traditionally vacation in Castel Gandolfo, a hilltop town near Rome, staying at Villa Barberini. This location has served as a summer retreat for centuries, offering scenic views of Lake Albano. The tradition includes leading prayers and engaging with the local community.

Pope Leo XIV will resume the papal vacation tradition by taking two weeks off at Castel Gandolfo, the hilltop town a dozen or so miles southeast of Rome, which popes for centuries used as their summer retreat. CNN’s Christopher Lamb takes a closer look at the papal holiday tradition.
