Villa Borghese | The Green Lung Of Rome

Villa Borghese is presented as the green lung of Rome, and is considered the second largest public park in Rome (80 hectares) behind Villa Pamphili.

For the Romans, Villa Borghese is the most famous and dearest city park alongside the more popular of the Italian capital.

This park is located on the Pincian hill, between Piazza del Popolo and Piazza Spain.

It covers much of the Pinciano district and part of the Campo Marzio neighborhood, both divided by the Aurelian Walls.
