Villa Giulia, Public garden in Palermo, Italy
The garden follows an Italian design with symmetrical avenues intersecting in two main directions, forming a square layout with a circular central plaza.
Created in 1777 under architect Nicolò Palma, Villa Giulia became the first public garden in Italy, named after Julia d'Avalos, wife of viceroy Marcantonio Colonna.
The central fountain features a sundial dodecahedron created in 1780, while sculptures by Ignazio Marabitti include representations of Abundance and Glory from 1763.
The garden maintains one entrance from Via Lincoln near the Botanical Garden, offering free access to visitors with disability assistance available.
Four neoclassical pavilions added in 1866 by Giuseppe Damiani Almeyda stand in the central space, surrounded by Mediterranean vegetation and cypress trees.
