    This is an excellent stopping point where you can fill up your water supplies, take a breath and protect yourself from the sun in the hot moments of the year.

    “Pro custodia palatii nostri” is a Latin expression that means “for the guarding of our palace”. This term is historically significant because it was used by Pope Julius II in 1505 when he ordered Peter von Hertenstein to lead 200 Swiss soldiers to Rome to guard the Papal Palace. This event marks the creation of the Swiss Guard, which is still responsible for the Pope's security.
