Villa Gallia, Neoclassical architectural ensemble on Lake Como, Italy.
Villa Gallia exhibits four corner towers and two lake-facing loggias within a square plan structure surrounded by terraced gardens.
Cardinal Tolomeo Gallio commissioned the construction of Villa Gallia in 1586, with architect Giacomo Curti di Gravedona completing the project after the cardinal's death.
The central hall extends through two floors, connecting side rooms through loggias that reflect traditional Italian architectural principles.
The villa currently serves as headquarters for the Comunità Montana of Valli de Lario and Ceresio, while also functioning as an event venue.
The villa's gardens contain a specialized collection of camellia trees, which are displayed during the annual Camellia Exhibition.
