VILLA COMUNALE REGINA MARGHERITA

This beautiful garden, initially belonging to the Padri Crociferi (crucifix fathers), built on two terraces on different sloping levels, belongs to those types of gardens on a landscape where the view itself seems to belong to the manmade elements. It became the town park after the Unification of Italy and offers a good view over the roofs of the historic centre and of the port which it is connected to by a stairway which goes as far as the Chiusa quarter. An intense light illuminates the park during the day, enticing visitors and making beautiful scenes framed by the date-palms and many exotic plants: There are also two impressive Ficus benjamina trees at the entrance to the park.
