Parco Giardino Sigurtà

Sigurtà is a garden park with 13 distinct sections that spans 600,000 square meters (more than 120 acres) along the banks of the Mincio river, about 24 kilometers from Verona. You can either walk or drive between the various parts of the complex because each has its own parking spot.

The promenades and scenery of the garden frame the towers of a ruined castle that tops a hilltop above the park. Nearly every element of an Italian garden can be found at Sigurtà, from the vibrant flower beds and well-kept lawns to the herb garden and 18 decorative ponds and lakes. The box trees and bushes are not shaped in the conventional topiary garden shapes, yet there is the typical maze and grotto. Instead, they have been lightly cut while yet being permitted to take on unique, frequently amazing shapes. When one million plants bloom in the spring, the garden is perhaps most renowned for its display of tulips.
