The 16th century Farnese Palace, also known as Villa Farnese, is a pentagonal mansion in the town of Caprarola in the province of Viterbo, Northern Lazio, Italy, approximately 50 kilometres (31 mi) north-west of Rome. This villa should not be confused with the Palazzo Farnese and the Villa Farnesina, both in Rome. From its hilltop position, Villa Farnese dominates the town of Caprarola and its surroundings. It is a massive Renaissance and Mannerist construction built on a five-sided plan in reddish gold stone. In 1504, Cardinal Alessandro Farnese, the future Pope Paul III, acquired the estate at Caprarola and hired the architects Antonio da Sangallo the Younger and Baldassare Peruzzi to draw up plans for a fortified castle. After the desth if Sangallo some years later, the younger Cardinal Alessandro Farnese, a grandson of Pope Paul III, decided to turn the partly constructed fortified edifice into a country house. In 1556, he commissioned Giacomo Barozzi da Vignola as his architect. Construction work commenced in 1559 and Vignola continued to work on the villa at Caprarola until his death in 1573. The Villa is decorated with splendid frescoes throughout, a magnificent spiral staircase and breathtaking renaissance gardens filled with waterfalls and statuary.
