Parco Adriano, Municipal park near Castel Sant'Angelo, Rome, Italy
Parco Adriano is a green space situated between the Tiber River and Vatican City, designed with geometric flowerbeds and paired rows of trees. The grounds feature pathways that wind through organized plantings and open areas throughout the park.
The site became a park in 1911 during Rome's Universal Exhibition. Architect Attilio Spaccarelli redesigned the layout in 1934, creating the arrangement that visitors see today.
This space once formed part of the papal fortifications and still carries traces of that military past. Today the grounds serve as a gathering place where local residents and visitors find a moment away from the busy city streets.
The park is accessible on foot and features clearly marked pathways for different routes. Evening lighting throughout the grounds makes it possible to visit after sunset.
The park preserves sections of original Roman masonry from Hadrian's Mausoleum within its foundations. Walking through the Passetto di Borgo allows visitors to see these ancient structures integrated beneath the modern landscaping.
