Villa Sciarra

Mythological statues

35 Via Calandrelli
Rome, Rome 00153
+39 6 48 8991 (Tourist Information)

This park lies on the slopes of the Gianicolo. It boasts botanical plants and statues of mythological figures as well as a holy copse dedicated to a nymph which was part of the area known as Caesar's gardens. The building is closed for restoration but the gardens are splendid, particularly when in flower. Fountains represent figures such as Apollo and Daphne, the Dawn and a myriad of fauns at play. Representations of the months of the year have been created in a semi-circular flowerbed and other fountains have allegorical themes such as various sins.
