Parco Virgiliano, Urban park in Posillipo, Italy
Located on a hilltop, Parco Virgiliano stretches across 92,000 square meters of terraced gardens offering views of the Gulf of Naples and surrounding islands.
The park opened in 1931 during the Fascist period under the name Parco della Vittoria, later becoming Parco delle Rimembranze to commemorate World War I casualties.
The park features commemorative busts of international figures including Simón Bolívar and Gandhi, along with an amphitheater hosting performances throughout summer.
Access to the park varies seasonally, with extended hours from June to September, while entry is restricted during storms and thirty minutes before closing time.
From the terraces, visitors observe seven distinct geographical points: Mount Vesuvius, the Sorrento Coast, and the islands of Capri, Ischia, Procida, Nisida, and Phlegrean Fields.
