Parco Gallorose, Wildlife park in Cecina, Italy.
Parco Gallorose is a wildlife park spanning 5 hectares along the Aurelia road in the Cedrino district, housing over 150 animal species in natural settings. The enclosures are designed so animals live in habitats that resemble their native environments.
The park opened to the public in 2001 and became a center for wildlife conservation and education in Tuscany. Its establishment marked a turning point for regional wildlife protection efforts.
The park displays traditional farming tools and twentieth-century objects that connect visitors with local rural life. These exhibits show how people in this area once lived and worked.
The facility operates daily from March to October, while in winter it opens only on weekends and holidays from 9:30 until sunset. Visitors should plan their timing based on the season.
The park houses rare species such as binturongs, palm civets, black giant squirrels, and marsh cats, seldom found in other Italian zoos. This collection makes the visit particularly interesting for those wanting to see unusual animals.
