Giardini Margherita

Giardini margherita bologna Italy

The Giardini Margherita is a park in Bologna, Italy, located just south of the city centre.

History

The park has been opened on the 6th July 1879 by the city who bought the land that was part of an ancient Convent. The project made by Ernesto Baldo Bertone di Sambuy is a typical English landscape garden, similar to Parco Sempione in Milan.

Curiosity

In the main square of the park there is a liberty building, used for many years as an astronomical observatory. The use is now made almost impossible by light pollution.
