Villa Borghese is the third largest public park (80 hectares) in the city of Rome after Villa Doria Pamphilj and Villa Ada. It houses numerous buildings, museums and attractions including the Bioparco di Roma. Cardinal Scipione Borghese used it as a suburban villa, a festive villa and to house his art collection (it was in fact he who initially constituted the rich Borghese collection, now on display in the Borghese Gallery inside the Villa Borghese Pinciana). The gardens as they are today were redone in the early 19th century.

Parco di Villa Borghese is a large park in the center of Rome, which contains various types of landscaping, buildings, sculptures, monuments and fountains created by famous artists of Baroque, Neoclassical and Eclectic art. The park was created in the 17th century by the Borghese family, who had the villa and park built as a “villa of pleasure”. The park was purchased by the Italian state in 1903 and opened to the public.
