Parco di Monserrato

Parco di Monserrato is a green space in the southwestern part of Sassari featuring a range of plant species and natural landscapes across its grounds. The property is divided into distinct sections connected by pathways that showcase different types of vegetation.

The property was acquired in the 17th century by Spanish merchants from Valencia and changed ownership several times over centuries. It became public parkland in 2007 following a comprehensive restoration.

Since becoming public grounds, the park serves as a walking destination where visitors find shade under mature trees that define different sections of the landscape. This everyday use has turned it into an important green space where people connect with both nature and the past.

The park has flat terrain with wide pathways that lead through the different sections, making it easy to walk around. Parking facilities at the entrance make visiting by car straightforward.

Within the grounds are six cultivation islands planted with orange trees, each connected by small pathways that create botanical zones with distinct plant themes. This separated layout offers visitors surprising transitions when moving between garden areas.
