Boboli Gardens, Historical park museum behind Palazzo Pitti, Florence, Italy
The Boboli Gardens extend across 45,000 square meters with long gravel paths, stone structures, statues, fountains, and garden temples behind Palazzo Pitti.
The gardens were created in 1549 when Eleonora di Toledo acquired the property, leading to extensive renovations by architects Niccolò Tribolo and Giorgio Vasari.
The gardens showcase numerous Roman and Renaissance sculptures throughout its paths, making it an outdoor museum of classical and Renaissance art.
The gardens feature an amphitheater, multiple fountains, the Grotta Grande, and the Isolotto pond, connected by wide pathways suitable for extended walks.
The garden's irrigation system channels water from the Arno River to maintain its plants, including centuries-old oak trees across multiple terraced levels.
