Guastalla gardens, Renaissance urban park in Quadronno district, Milan, Italy.
Description
Guastalla Gardens is an urban park in central Milan laid out around a baroque pond filled with fish. Old beeches, walnuts, magnolias, and chestnut trees line the pathways and create a green enclosure in the middle of the city.
History
The gardens were created in 1555 as part of a monastery complex founded by a countess. The site later went through several changes, but the baroque structure and art pieces from different periods have remained.
Culture
The park holds several artworks that catch the eye as you walk through. A neoclassical temple and a small chapel with a Mary Magdalene statue from the 1600s stand as quiet focal points among the greenery.
Practical
The park is centrally located in the city next to a major hospital and is open daily. There are multiple entrances, and the pathways allow you to explore it from different directions.
Did you know?
The baroque pond has housed a population of carp and red fish since the 1700s, a tradition that has endured. The pink granite steps and marble railings around the pond show the careful craftsmanship from that era.
