Boboli's Garden

The Boboli Gardens is a historic park in the city of Florence.

Born as the Grand Ducal Garden of Palazzo Pitti, it is also connected to the Forte di Belvedere, a military outpost for the safety of the sovereign and his family.

The garden, which welcomes over 800,000 visitors every year, is one of the most important examples of an Italian garden in the world and is a real open-air museum, for its architectural-landscape setting and for the collection of sculptures, which ranging from Roman antiquities to the twentieth century.

The Boboli Gardens is one of the most famous gardens on the peninsula.

The gardens were built between the 16th and 19th centuries by the Medici, then by the Habsburg-Lorraine and Savoy families, and occupy an area of ??approximately 45,000 m².

Over the years, new portions with different settings were added to the first late-Renaissance style setting, visible in the nucleus closest to the building: along the axis parallel to the building, the perspective axis of the lane was born, from which gravel-covered walkways unravel which lead to ponds, fountains, nymphaeums, temples and caves.

The importance of the statues and buildings in the garden is remarkable, such as the eighteenth-century Kaffeehaus (a rare example of Rococo style in Tuscany), which allows you to enjoy the view over the city, or the Limonaia, still in its original green Lorraine color.
