Villa Celimontana

Villa Galimontana is a historic building in the first century AD, first established by Emperor Augusto as a paramilitary organization to maintain order in Urber, and later established the so-called Hilaryana Cathedral here, a religious complex, It was abandoned until the 16th century and was acquired by the Mattei family to build a Renaissance-style elegant residence.

The towering trees in the villa area do not affect the atmosphere of the LiVe concerts that can often be held. Very popular tickets are still a bit famous in the local area. The park here also has some rides and the environment is very good.

There are so many turtles here that they are surrounded by a small pond.

This hidden gem of a park is on the Celian hill, next to the Colosseum (no, not the Palatine hill; the one across from it). With umbrella pines, fountains, 16th-century villa (during the Renaissance, the area was the property of the noble Mattei family), and ancient Egyptian obelisk, it's the perfect Roman escape from the busy nearby attractions. On the weekends, expect to see local families picnicking and relaxing.

One of Rome's historic villas hosts a concert series every summer. Go early to snag a table, and enjoy dinner, drinks, and some of Rome's best jazz under the stars.
