the Caves can be visited all year round, along a path that runs along the upper part of Lake Albano.
The path is traveled by many people on mountain bikes and on foot. Taking the path of the Devil keeping the path to the right, then straight. Unfortunately, beyond the caves the collapse of a wall no longer allows, as years before, to take the route of the lakes, one is forced to go back.

Mysterious Caves of Palazzolo, a short distance from Rocca di Papa and Albano, with a balcony view of Lake Castel Gandolfo. Close to a medieval convent, these cavities were used as stone mines in the Roman and medieval periods but some scholars hypothesize that they also functioned as prisons in unspecified periods. The frequenting of the area by brigand gangs in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries is documented by reliable historical sources. In recent times, however, these mirrors have apparently hosted satanic masses and other similar rites.
