Park of Villa Gregoriana

You would not ever expect to discover such a magical and mysterious spot in the heart of a city! When walking the paths of the Park in the shade of the trees, it is just a matter of time before you come across the remains of a poet’s villa. Further ahead, waterfalls, caves, and caverns dug by the river that bring to mind Dante’s entrance to the underworld. You are, in fact, in the Valley of Hell and on top of the abyss that has overlooked the Temple of the Sybil for over two thousand years. The babbling of the Great Waterfall tells of a more recent story and how water is transformed into pure energy. If you are curious and want to find out more, choose the tour that suits you best!

The sublime beauty of the gorge, the classic appeal of the Roman temple and the impervious nature were capable of bewitching hundreds of painters, writers and poets. Artists came in times gone by to let themselves be lowered down into large baskets in order to see and be able to paint or narrate this Paradise/Hell, full of exciting contrasts between light and dark! Do not worry, today everything is much easier. It is still an exciting adventure that you do not want to miss!
