Villa d'Este

Villa d'Este is a magnificent place. I dreamed of visiting this place since I had seen several photos in a blog.
Villa is located in 20 km from Rome in the town Tivoli. The ticket price  is 11 euros.
Garden complex was built by Cardinal Ippolito (II) d'Este with help of artist Pirro Ligorio and architect-engineer Alberto Galvani in  Renaissance style.Villa is included among the UNESCO World Heritage Site . Here on the not quite big square is located a big amount of fountains, there is even musical fountain (with organ).Also there is an art exhibition and small museum of antique books.
By the way, nearby there is a small market where we had bought several bottles of olive oil from Villa Adriana( they've got a lot of different tastes with basilic, mandarin,limon,rozmarin,mushrooms etc.)-I advice you to buy
