Villa Giulia was another destination in our field trip class. This building/garden was built by Pope Julius III and holds the Museo Nazionale Etrusco. This trip was a little further away from our apartments, so we took a series of buses there.





When you enter the building, you can choose to either turn into the giftshop/museum area, or you can walk directly through to the gardens. This is the view that I had when I stepped into the garden. It was an overcast day, but the villa was still beautiful.





There are a series of interlocking spaces within the outdoor area. This transitional space leads to the fountain.










The villa has multiple levels, and when you walk out of the first garden, you overlook a great fountain from a balcony.










This picture was taken from one of the side gardens.
