Discover “Borgo Laudato Si’” for the Jubilee, a training center in Integral Ecology

29 October 2024

The Borgo Laudato Si’ is preparing to welcome pilgrims and visitors to the magnificent setting of the Papal Gardens at Castel Gandolfo. This initiative, which has been greatly desired by Pope Francis, and which is now offered as part of the Holy Year experience, offers visitors information on integral ecology, and is open to all those who wish to deepen their connection with Creation.

The area of the Borgo Laudato Si’, which extends over 35 hectares of gardens and 20 hectares of agricultural land, is home to over 3,000 plants belonging to 300 different species, and offers an immersive experience in natural beauty.

Pilgrims who wish to visit the Gardens during their stay in Rome, will also be able to explore the archaeological remains of the Villa of the Roman Emperor Domitian. A visit is recommended for pilgrims coming to Rome for the 2025 Jubilee Year. The initiative aims to promote a deeper reflection on ecological themes and on the importance of our responsibility towards the planet, as highlighted by the Pope in the Encyclical Laudato Si’.

For pilgrims wishing to book a visit, tickets are available at a promotional rate. Reservations can be made by writing to tours@borgolaudatosi.va specifying the date, time, number of participants and type of visit chosen. It is an unmissable opportunity to immerse oneself in contemplation of nature and ecological catechesis, leading to a kind of ecological conversion and a greater awareness of the importance of Creation.
