The Getty Villa

Visitors can view ancient Greek and Roman artwork at the Getty Villa in Malibu, which is a replica of a villa from the first century AD. A reflecting pool, statues, and fountains are additional highlights. Four gardens in the villa help to integrate Roman architecture with outdoor space and a range of Mediterranean flora that were common back when the Roman Empire was in power. Take a self-guided tour or stroll the grounds at your leisure.

The 134,000 square foot Central Garden, created by artist Robert Irwin, is the focal point of the Getty Center. It features a tree-lined promenade, a natural ravine, and exquisite bougainvillea arbors. To change the sounds made by the running water, different-sized rocks and boulders were positioned in the stream bed. The Getty Villa, on the other hand, has four distinct gardens: the Inner Peristyle, which has a number of bronze statues; the Herb Garden; the East Garden, which has sycamore and laurel trees as well as two sculptural fountains; and the Outer Peristyle, which is the largest of the four gardens and has a variety of plants used by the ancient Romans, including bay laurel, boxwood, myrtle, and ivy surrounding the
