5Villa Farnesina

From its ornate ceilings to walls covered in frescoes, Villa Farnesina is a palace in Italy that you do not want to miss. Built in the 16th century and designed by Baldassare Peruzzi, the palace is not typical in the layout of other Italian palaces.

The palace was built for Agostino Chigi, a treasurer for Pope Julis II. With no signs of defensive features in this palace, it is unique and designed to be more open and airy. The loggia features frescoes depicting secular myths throughout.
