Lonely Planet review

Rome's largest park is an excellent place to get away from the relentless noise of the city. Once an enormous private estate, it was laid out around 1650 for Prince Camillo Pamphilj, a nephew of Pope Innocent X. At its centre is the prince's summer residence, the Casino del Belrespiro, designed by Alessandro Algardi and surrounded by manicured formal gardens and citrus trees. It was acquired by the state in the late 1950s and is now used for official government functions.
