Villa Borghese - Just a Sample of Rome

by mrclay2000 - last update: Jan 17, 2003

western fringe, Villa Borghese

The Park Outside the City Walls

This is a memorial arch in the fashion of old Rome near the western entrances outside the Porta del Popolo.

Fountains Galore

There are many fountains throughout the Villa Borghese featuring various motifs and images. Most fountains in Rome have drinkable water. Those that aren't fit for consumption are clearly marked 'NON POTABILE.'

Atrium or Aviary or Something

I believe this is called an Atrium which stands at the crossroads of walks in the Villa Borghese, but whatever its original intent, it serves only to ornament one of the grandest walks in Europe.

Rustic Lake

Who says you can't row your boat in Rome? With sculls plying the Tiber, why not? This is a beautiful lake setting with an island inside the lake complete with its own temple. How cool is that?
