The first consists of the Pontifical Gardens, the original heart of the Villa Pontificia, since they were created in the period in which there was the primitive residence of Pope Urban VIII.
Villa Cybo built by Cardinal Camillo Cybo, was annexed to the complex of the Pontifical Villas, at the time of Pope Clement XIV, who bought it in 1774 from the owner of the time, the Duke of Modena.
Finally, the third block consisted of Villa Barberini built by Matteo Barberini, nephew of Pope Urban VIII.
