The Boboli Garden covers a green area of 45.000 m² and extends from Ammannati courtyard in Pitti Palace to the hill of Forte Belvedere, created in the mid-1500’s, and decorated with statues of important artists, ornate sculpted fountains, like the famous Ocean Fountain,  and enchanting grottos, decorated both internally and externally with stalactites, and originally equipped with water features and luxuriant vegetation. 

Leaving Boboli, we skirt the ramparts of the imposing Belvedere Fort and enter the Bardini Gardens. The fort originally belonged to the wealthy Mozzi family, since the mid-1200's, and the property eventually came to be owned by Florentine antiquarian, Stefano Bardini, who used it not only as a garden but also as an open air showroom for his extraordinary antique sculptures, fountains and architectural elements.

Today, after a massive restoration project, the gardens offer breathtaking views of the city of Florence from its paths and terraces, surrounded by seasonal plantings originally planned by Bardini himself.
