Sighseeing
The chief appeal of an excursion in this small town is the relaxing ambience, fine feasting, and wandering around the evocative medieval streets and the faded grandeur of the aristocratic past.
Villa Aldobrandini
The most impressive building here is the Villa Aldobrandini, designed by Giacomo Della Porta. This palace dominates the town and offers wonderful gardens open to the public and free to visit. Usually on a weekday the grounds are almost empty, and you can explore the terraces in solitary state. Behind the Villa one can enjoy splendid sculptures and architectural follies or climb up beside the crumbling cascade and thus dip into a wonderfully romantic atmosphere.
Villa Torlonia
Villa Torlonia is nowadays it is a public park, where tourists can admire the gardens, and an impressive fountain, the Teatro delle acque (water theatre), designed by Carlo Maderno.
The cathedral
The cathedral is an architectural masterpiece that is worth to be seen, as are some of Frascati's other churches. Visitors will be pleased with the beauties of all these ancient edifices and their historic settings taking one back into the mists of old legends and fairy tales.
