The Villa Borghese Park<\/strong> covers a large area in the northern part of Rome’s historic center. Carefully landscaped, it is one of the most pleasant places in the city to relax, to explore on foot, by bicycle, or even on four-seater bikes.
This villa was created in the 17th century by Cardinal Scipione Borghese<\/strong> and acquired in 1903 by the Italian State to be turned into a public park. Among its centuries-old trees, small lakes, gardens, wide avenues, and meadows, the park also features palaces, sculptures, monuments, and refined fountains, created by artists of Baroque, Neoclassical, and other artistic movements, such as Canova.
It houses the Casino Nobile<\/strong> and the famous Borghese Gallery<\/strong><\/a>, renowned for its artistic masterpieces including Caravaggio paintings and Bernini sculptures.
Among its iconic sites are the Temple of Aesculapius<\/strong> by a lake and secret gardens such as the Giardino della Meridiana<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
