The palace of the XVI century, built for Cardinal Scipione Borghese on the site of former vineyards. The building is surrounded by a huge park in the English style with numerous antique statues. There is a hippodrome, a zoo, a theater and several museums on site. Until the beginning of the 20th century, the mansion with the park belonged to the Borghese family, then all the property was transferred to the state.
