Un piccolo edificio a due piani denominato Casino del Belvedere sorge sui resti di uno dei ninfei ai lati del grande triclinio del palazzo imperiale di epoca domizianea (81-96 d.C.). Risalente al XVI secolo, fu ristrutturato dai Farnese che vi aggiunsero una loggia a due ordini ricoperta di affreschi con balaustra di travertino. Le pitture, ancora oggi conservate, rappresentano paesaggi bucolici sulle pareti e grottesche sulle volte, impreziosite da ovali dedicati a divinità come Venere oppure a personaggi mitici come Ercole, Caco o gli Argonauti.

English:
A small two-storey building known as the Casino del Belvedere stands on the remains of one of the nymphaeums at the sides of the large triclinium belonging to the imperial palace of the Domitianic period (AD 81-96). Dating to the 16th century, it was rebuilt by the Farnese family who added a two-order loggia covered with frescoes and a travertine balustrade. The paintings, which still survive, depict bucolic landscapes on the walls and grotesques on the vaults, adorned with ovals dedicated to deities such as Venus or mythical figures like Hercules,
