Giardino di Boboli






The Boboli Garden are a famous park located in Florence which is full of 16th century sculpture. It is located behind the Palazzo Pitti, a Renaissance palace which was home to the Medici family, where it was created for the wife of the first Cosimo de' Medici. I don't really have more to explain just that it was an endless Garden full of statues, fountains and exquisite nature. I went there with my friend Brie and it probably took us about 2 hours to get through half of it so its is a huge peice of land and there are a few too many uphill climbs but they were totally worth it. The top picture on the right is one of the amazing views from the top of the garden. There were tons of pathways that were covered and just went everywhere, it was very Secret Garden-esque. And Seriously who can ignore an amazing statue of Pegasus, I wish I had my own flying horse, that would make life a lot easier.
