The Rose Garden with a beautiful view of Florence will be of interest to children, photographers, and everyone who is simply in love with Italy!
I have no idea how I managed NOT to post this review of this attraction?!
It is located on the lower left of Piazzale Michelangelo, if you look at the Cathedral of Fiore from the square itself. I read on the map - GARDEN. And I thought, well, why not stop by while my group runs around the churches : -)
And there are roses, and persimmons, and a Japanese garden, and statues ...I wildly apologize for the quality of the photo, as I shot on an old iPhone 3J and something on Olympus (very old at 300 frames) : -(
The Garden Park is located in the Oltrarno district of Florence. It is located between Viale Giuseppe Poggi, Via di San Salvatore al Monte and Via dei Bastioni and offers great views of the city and beyond.
It was created by the Florentine architect Giuseppe Poggi in 1865, after the decision of the municipality of Florence to develop the left bank of the Arno River, at a time when the capital of Italy was moved from Turin to Florence. His contributions include both the Piazzale Michelangelo and the garden itself. The size of the garden is about 1 hectare. A certain Attilio Pucci was engaged in the very collection of roses. And in 1895 the garden was open to the public for the first time, during the Festival of Arts and Flowers. In 1998, the garden received the Japanese oasis Shorai, donated by Yasuo Kitayama, and the Kodai-ji Zen temple from Florence's sister city, Kyoto. Since September 2011, twelve sculptures by the Belgian artist Jean-Michel Folon have appeared in the garden, donated by his widow to the municipality of Florence.
Well, this is a dryly translated Wikipedia, but in life the garden is very interesting.
