Blossoms of Time: A Botanical Odyssey through Villa Corsini and Rome's Enchanting Gardens

Unique Experience

Embark on a captivating journey through the hidden gem of Rome, where history, art, and nature intertwine in a mesmerizing dance – welcome to the Villa Corsini and the Botanical Garden tour.

Picture yourself in Trastevere, the beating heart of Rome, where time seems to stand still in the shadow of the 15th-century Villa Corsini. This monumental masterpiece, once the residence of the illustrious Queen Christina of Sweden, now unfolds its secrets to those fortunate enough to wander its grounds.

As the clock strikes 09:00, you'll be swept away into an enchantment world spanning three glorious hours. Immerse yourself in the lush embrace of the Botanical Garden, a living tapestry that has carefully preserved over 3000 plant species since 1883. The air is filled with the whispers of history as you stroll past the Fountain of the Tritons and the Steps of the Eleven Fountains – each a testament to the rich tapestry of time. Villa Corsini, a sanctuary of the National Gallery of Ancient Arts, is a guardian of artistic treasures amidst the verdant landscape. Feel the echoes of centuries past as you explore its hallowed halls and discover the stories woven into the very fabric of its existence. This is not just a tour; it's a sensory symphony. Wander through plant-lined avenues, where statues stand as silent sentinels to the passage of time. The gentle murmur of streams and ponds accompanies you, their waters tracing a lineage back to the ancient aqueduct of Aqua Paula, a marvel built by Emperor Trajan in the 1st century AD.

Your senses will be teased and tormented by the diverse landscapes that unfold – from the Roses and the Japanese Garden to the Valley of Ferns and the Bamboo collection. Let the fragrance of blooming roses and the serene ambiance of the Japanese Garden transport you to another realm. Marvel at the grandeur of more than 350 centenary trees and lose yourself in the impressive palm collection boasting over 40 species. The Corsini and Monumental greenhouses house a treasure trove of cactuses and milkweeds. In contrast, the pond of the Tropical greenhouse, alongside streams and water surfaces, showcases an astonishing array of aquatic plants.
