Take a pleasant stroll through the second largest Roman park - Villa Ada, located outside the walls of Aurelius. This is the former summer residence of the royal family of Savoy, and today it is a park with rich vegetation and diverse fauna, jogging and cycling paths, a lake and a swimming pool.

In the north-east of Rome is Villa Ada - the largest park in the city (an area of ​​182 hectares).

Villa History

In 1872-1878 this woodland was the royal residence of the Savoy dynasty. Count Tellfner from Switzerland in 1878 acquired a plot and built a beautiful villa, which he named in honor of his wife Ada. In 1904, the Savoy dynasty regained control of these lands, but did not change the name. This continued until the overthrow of the monarchy in 1946.

In 2009, the park was divided into two parts: public and private. The private area is owned by the Egyptian Embassy and is guarded by the police and army.

The public area is under the jurisdiction of the Council of Rome. This part occupies most of the park. There is an artificial lake on which you can ride a boat; pool. Mediterranean plants and trees grow here: stone oaks, pine trees, noble laurels and metasequoias. In the park you can rent a bicycle or rent horses for walking, you can just jog.

Entrance to the park is free.

In 2009 Alexander Solzhenitsyn Street appeared in Ada’s Villa.
