Villa Doria Pamphilj is the biggest public park of Rome (180 hectares), is located upon the Gianicolo hill, nearby the Aurelian Walls and beside via Aurelia Antica. The park takes its name after a noble Roman family that bought in 1630 the pre-existing estate and is currently representative seat of the Italian Government.

The park includes a vast pinewood, a farmhouse, the main palace and its gardens. Just in front of the pinewood square there’s the 18th century Palazzina Corsini, currently a library, from which you can admire the valley of the deers, a woodland that used to be a garden. The park presents the Baroque Casino of the Bel Respiro, the Fountain of the Fauro and the Fountain of the Virgin, located in the beautiful Garden of the Theatre. Also, you can see the Doria Pamphilj Chapel and the Villa Vecchia, the oldest building of this complex with a splendid Italian garden.

Inside the villa there’s the Museum of Villa Doria Pamphilj, which retraces the building’s history and presents several objects for the decoration of the gardens, furnishings, famous personalities’ busts, relieves and paintings exhibited in a chronological order from the 17th to the 19th century.
