Riserva naturale di Monte Mario, Regional nature reserve in Rome, Italy.

The Monte Mario Nature Reserve extends across 206 hectares in the northwestern part of Rome, featuring Mediterranean woodlands and mixed forests.

The area housed residential villas during Roman times and later became a location for noble families to establish their residences from the Renaissance period.

Villa Mellini, constructed in the 15th century, contains an Astronomical Observatory and stands on the meridian line of Rome, offering scientific research facilities.

The reserve maintains numerous hiking trails through forests of holm oak, cork oak, hornbeam, and maple trees, with opportunities for wildlife observation.

The geological composition reveals marine fossils from ancient times, making it a reference site for paleontological studies worldwide.
