Villa comunale Karol Wojtyla, Urban park in central Foggia, Italy.
The Villa Comunale Karol Wojtyla extends over 12 acres with rectangular paths, fountains, statues, and a main avenue lined with palm trees.
Construction of the public garden commenced in January 1820 under Superintendent Nicola Intonti, creating a green space for the residents of Foggia.
The park received its name in honor of Karol Wojtyla, who later became Pope John Paul II, reflecting the religious heritage of the region.
The park features multiple entrances, including a grand pronaos gateway, and connects to Piazza Cavour near the railway station district.
The botanical section contains over 500 plant species, including surviving mulberry trees from the original 1820 garden and post-war eucalyptus additions.
