rose garden

Giardino delle Rose
Italy, Florence
The Rose Garden in Florence is located on the terraces of the hill of San Miniato, west of Piazzale Michelangelo. The garden with an area of ​​about a hectare is the creation of the architect Giuseppe Poggi, who designed it by order of the administration of the administrative center of the Tuscany region on the eve of the transfer of the capital of the Italian kingdom from Turin to Florence in 1865.
Since 1895, the city's rose garden has been open to the public and admission is free. More than 350 types of roses grow in the modern Rose Garden, about a thousand varieties of other flowers from different regions of the world and many citrus trees. There are paths along the territory of the garden leading to the terraces, from where a wonderful view of Florence opens, the garden is decorated with fountains in the form of fabulous creatures and outlandish human faces, there are benches for relaxation. In 2011, the widow of the Belgian architect Jean-Michel Folon donated 12 sculptures of his work to the city of Florence, which also adorned the Rose Garden.

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 .
