The villa was built in 1560 and is famous for its magnificent garden of grottoes, fountains and water sculptures.

The villa fell into disuse and became ruined during the decline of the empire and now remains today in its ruined state, kept as it always was. This tour is definitely one for those who are interested in the history of the empire and want to know how the emperors of the Roman era lived.
