Villa del Colle del Cardinale - Perugia

The Villa del Cardinale is the best known of the Umbrian residential complexes, built in the mid-sixteenth century. The detailed restoration work on the monumental and naturalistic complex, conducted by the Superintendence for Architectural Heritage and Landscape of Umbria and currently implemented by the Umbria Museum Complex, will soon allow the complete recovery of the property as a prestigious period residence, but also a museum place for events and temporary exhibitions extended to the garden and park. The naturalistic complex, spread over 13 hectares, of extraordinary landscape charm and undisputed monumental value, is still of great scientific interest today due to the variety and richness of the botanical species.
