Villa Doria Pamphilj







I stumbled upon this amazing villa while on a run today.
Built in 1653, Villa Doria Pamphili was constructed by the Pope Innocent X as his living quarters while serving the papacy. Just south of Vatican City, Villa Doria Pamphili currently serves as a public museum and is maintained by the city of Rome. The estate itself is immense and is all open to the public and is considered the largest public park in Rome.
