The most popular park in Rome today, Villa Borghese is located close to the Spanish Steps and Piazza del Popolo. The magnificent estate, with its lush gardens and scenic gravel paths, covers an area of 688 hectares, and is home to the Galleria Borghese and the Rome Zoo. The gardens were developed in 1606, converted from former vineyards into the most extensive gardens in Rome. The Borghese family purchased surrounding lands to expand the estate.

Housed within the Casino Borghese, unquestionably the centerpiece of the Villa, is one of most extensive and venerated collections of ancient, Renaissance, and Baroque art in the world. Galleria Borghese was established by Cardinal Scipione Borghese, nephew of Pope Paul V, who appointed Cardinal Borghese in charge of the Vatican Collection. He became an avid collector and patron to Bernini, creating an extraordinary private collection currently housed in the Galleria. The Villa Borghese was purchased by the Italian state in 1901 and opened to the public in 1903, and is known as the perfect combination between nature and Roman art.
