Why to visit Villa Borghese

On the Pincian Hill, between the Spanish Steps and Piazza del Popolo, lie the Villa Borghese Gardens. The Gardens are 80 hectares in size and were created in 1606 by Cardinal Scipione Borghese, who wished to transform his former vineyard into Rome's largest gardens.

During this time, the Cardinal commissioned the architect Flaminio Ponzio to construct the Villa Borghese Pinciana, which now houses the Galleria Borghese. In the nineteenth century, the gardens were entirely restored in the naturalistic English style, and in 1903, they were designated as a public park.

Point of interest for visit:-

1.Visit the Borghese Gallery, which is one of the most prominent museums in the Italian city. It includes works by Raphael, Titian, and Caravaggio, among others.

2.Rome Zoo, also known as the Bioparco, is home to around 1,000 animals representing 200 distinct species.

3.The Water Clock of Pincio: This clock, which is still operational today, is an example of 19th century engineering.

4.The Silvano Toti Globe Theatre is a reproduction of London's Shakespeare's Globe Theatre.
