Villa Giulia
Villa Giulia was built by Pope Giulio III Ciocchi Del Monte in 1550-1555. It is one of the most refined and representative examples of the architecture of Mannerism in Rome. On the ground floor there is a portal flanked by two niches, inserted in a triple rusticated arch. The rear facade features the large semicircular portico designed by Ammanati. Many statues in the courtyard and in the Nymphaeum were taken to the Vatican. After having had various uses in 1889 it was finally destined to the Museum of Etruscan Art.
