Why visit the Vatican Gardens
While strolling through the peaceful paths of the Vatican Gardens, you can witness gardens in different styles with their own distinctive features. With its formal and geometrical elements, the Italian-style garden pays homage to the Renaissance. Classic baroque art, including sculptures and water features, defines the French garden as a whole. The English garden includes amazing geometric characteristics with natural and man-made components such as caverns, streams, trees, bushes, pagodas, pergolas, temples, and ruins.
