Giardini Reali, Royal garden near Palazzo Reale, Turin, Italy
Description
Giardini Reali is a large garden in Turin with formal sectors like the Ducal Garden, Green Bastion, and East Garden laid out across the grounds. Tree-lined paths wind through the spaces, and fountains punctuate the landscape at regular intervals.
History
The gardens took shape in the mid-18th century when the Fountain of Tritons by Simone Martinez was completed. A full restoration in recent years reconstructed the original layout and design of that period.
Culture
The gardens host modern art installations like 'Precious Stones' by Giulio Paolini that sit alongside the historical plantings. Walking through these spaces, you encounter contemporary creativity woven into the fabric of the old garden design.
Practical
The gardens are open most days and invite leisurely walks, with movable chairs available throughout the grounds. Wear comfortable shoes and plan to visit during daylight hours when pathways are easiest to navigate.
Did you know?
In a southern section of the gardens stands one of Piedmont's oldest weeping beech trees, planted in the late 1800s. This tree is often overlooked by visitors, yet its age and presence mark a quiet detail of the grounds.
