A beautiful walkway in the Boboli Gardens with stunning foliage and impressive sculptures on both sides.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Beginning in the 15th<\/sup> century and growing until the 19th<\/sup> century, it\u2019s received contributions from Italy\u2019s most influential families such as the Borgolo, Medici, and Lorraine families. It\u2019s also the inspiration<\/a> for the royal gardens in Versailles.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Features of the Boboli Gardens<\/h2>\n

Here, you\u2019ll find much more to explore and behold than foliage. The Boboli Gardens host an amphitheater shaped like a partial ancient hippodrome theater, with an authentic Egyptian Obelisk brought from Luxor in 1789.<\/p>\n

Various fountains and sculptures can be found throughout the grounds, such as the elegant \u201cartichoke fountain\u201d and \u201cNeptune\u2019s fountain\u201d, where a sculpture of Nepture boldly wields his trident.<\/p>\n

As visitors approach the Porta Romana, they will find the \u201cViottolone\u201d which is an avenue leading to an open space and surrounded by statues and giant cypress. The open space features the \u201cOcean\u201d fountain, and other classic sculptures symbolizing Roman<\/a> deities and ancient wonders.<\/p>\n

Newest additions<\/h2>\n

The most recent additions beyond the Obelisk include the \u201cKaffehaus\u201d and the \u201cLemon House\u201d constructed in the mid-1770s by the Lorraine family. Although the gardens feature sculptures, architecture, and other artistic creations from various centuries, it all fit together beautifully to construct one of Italy<\/a>\u2019s most historic and reveled museum.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no debating Florence is a hub of art and architecture, so it\u2019s no wonder it\u2019s the home of the Boboli Gardens. Known as the birthplace of the renaissance, even after a full day of exploration in the gardens, there\u2019s plenty more to see! Florence is a must-see for visitors to Italy.<\/p>\n
