Villa Celimontana

  Villa Celimontana, nestled in the stunning Celio district of Rome, is a beautiful park and a serene getaway from the bustling city. Dating back to the late 16th century, this villa was initially a residence for the noble Mattei family and features an impressive collection of ancient Roman artifacts. Visitors can stroll through the expansive gardens, which span approximately 3.5 hectares, adorned with lush greenery, including centuries-old trees and a delightful rose garden. In April, the park often bursts into bloom, making it an ideal time to enjoy the fragrant blossoms. While exploring, don't miss the charming fountains, and if you're lucky, you might spot some pigeons that call this park home.
