Villa Torlonia

Full of umbrella pines, tall palms and scattered villas, this romantic 19th-century park once belonged to Prince Giovanni Torlonia (1756–1829), a powerful banker and landowner. It centers on his large neoclassical villa, Casino Nobile, while the grounds are dotted by several other outbuildings, including the eccentric Casina delle Civette (House of the Owls) and the Serra Moresca, a greenhouse based on the Alhambra. It's a popular local park and has a cafe.
