Giardini Margherita
Giardini margherita bologna Italy
The Giardini Margherita is a park in Bologna, Italy, located just south of the city centre.
History
The park has been opened on the 6th July 1879 by the city who bought the land that was part of an ancient Convent. The project made by Ernesto Baldo Bertone di Sambuy is a typical English landscape garden, similar to Parco Sempione in Milan.
Curiosity
In the main square of the park there is a liberty building, used for many years as an astronomical observatory. The use is now made almost impossible by light pollution.
