Rome - Villa Doria Pamphili

Adjoining the Janiculum are the extensive grounds of the Villa Doria Pamphili, Rome's largest municipal park, now traversed by the Via Olimpica, a road constructed for the 1960 Olympics. The villa was built by Alessandro Algardi about 1650 for Prince Camillo Pamphili, a nephew of Pope Innocent X. On a terrace alongside the Via Aurelia Antica is the dei Quattro Venti (country house of the four winds), which is decorated with statues and reliefs.
