A trip to Rome - Park Borghese


On day five of our trip to Rome we started with a visit to a park: Park Borghese. It's named after the villa that's on the park grounds and that was build for cardinal Scipione Borghese.

There were some cool statues.


I really liked this one.


This was my owner's favorite statue.


We also saw a small temple.


It had all kinds of animals on the ceiling.


Can you see the wild boar?


I spotted a fountain with rabbits on it.


And there was a lake with a mysterious temple on an island.


In many of the trees there were cicadas and they were singing.


What a beautiful sound.


This is a statue of Nikolai Gogol.


He was a Russian playwright so that's why the statue had a mask in its hands.


All in all the park was lots of fun.
