Giardini Papadopoli, Public park in Santa Croce district, Venice, Italy
The Giardini Papadopoli spans 7,500 square meters along the Grand Canal, featuring dense tree cover with cypress, cedar, and holm oak specimens.
Francesco Bagnara designed the park in 1834 on the site of a former Poor Clare monastery, which had been closed during the Napoleonic suppressions.
The gardens hosted social gatherings for nobility in the mid-19th century, with an aviary containing silver parrots and pheasants among its attractions.
The park remains open daily without entrance fees and stands near major transportation hubs including Piazzale Roma and Santa Lucia train station.
Two small sections of the original gardens survive near Piazzale Roma, with one containing a fountain set among artificial rocks from a former nymphaeum.
