Giardini Peripato

The gardens feature diverse seasonal flowers, perennial plants, palms, and pines, creating symmetrical patterns through maintained bushes and flowerbeds near Mar Piccolo.

The Beaumont family transformed existing orchards into gardens in 1863, which later became municipal property in 1913 through official designation.

The name originates from the Greek word Peripatos, referencing the covered walkways where ancient philosophers conducted their teachings and discussions.

The park includes dedicated play areas for children, walking paths through greenery, and a pond that houses various waterfowl species.

The gardens contain archaeological remnants including wall structures from the imperial age and tombs with painted slabs from the 2nd to 1st century BC.
