Piazza della Cervelletta

Free

This modest neighbourhood green space takes its name from the nearby Casale della Cervelletta, a fortified medieval farmhouse that still stands as a local landmark on Rome's eastern edge. It's a low-key, residential spot rather than a destination park, offering shaded benches and open grass for those living nearby rather than visitors travelling across the city. It's best understood as a functional local piazza with a bit of history attached, not a major sight in its own right.

โœจ Reasons to go

  • 1The tower of the nearby Casale della Cervelletta dates to the 12th century, with Guelph battlements and a height of about 30 meters.
  • 2The estate passed from the Sforza family in the 16th century to Cardinal Scipione Borghese in 1628, who turned the farmhouse into a country residence.
  • 3The Salviati family, who took over in 1835, built water-canalization works for land reclamation that are still visible on the grounds today.
