Giardino di Boboli

Stretching behind Palazzo Pitti are the Boboli Gardens, a vast Italian-style park created by the Medici, an example for many European courts. The vast surface is divided into regular sections, and is a veritable open-air museum with ancient and Renaissance statues, caves and large fountains. The dynasties that followed added to the garden, expanding the borders that line the ancient city walls up to Porta Romana.
A visit to Boboli Gardens will let you fully grasp the spirit of court life and at the same time enjoy the experience of a garden that is always fresh and new while still respecting its tradition.
