Naples parks
Relax and tranquillity oasis
Naples isn’t a city known for its green spaces, but the few gardens that you can find are really stupendous.
The Park of Capodimonte, with its beautiful green grass and its typical sentries, which is is the perfect surrounding for the Gallery of Capodimonte; The particular Floridiana, once protagonist of the love affairs of the king Ferdinando IV and today place loved by children and young, this is a little green refuge in the busy quarter named Vomero. The Parco Virgiliano, also called “Rimembranza park”, in the quarter Posillipo, from which you can enjoy a breathtaking view. And the last, but not the least, the Villa Comunale (public garden) which is near the seashore. In this enormous garden there’s the oldest aquarium of Italy (the zoological station Anton Dohrn is inside the park). This garden has been restored in 1999, but this intervention made the garden loose a big part of its neoclassical style, above all the gates and the lamppost. In the centre of the park there’s a big sounding board of iron and cast iron, beautiful example of art nouveau.
So, with a little sun, wind in your hairs and a camera you can spend unforgettable hours, far from the city chaos and from the pollution.
