About Caprarola
Caprarola is the picturesque predecessor of Louis XIV’s Champs- Élysées. It is a small village built in the medieval times that is enrichened with a long and straight road leading up to a breath-taking villa. Before becoming the Head of the Church, Pope Paul III built a stunning pentagonal fortress on the site. A few generations later, his grandson gave it the Renaissance flare we know and admire today. In the present, it houses the Italian president, with the main villa repurposed as an absolutely must-see museum containing only the finest of the rich Renaissance times.
