FamxplorGiardino Garibaldi
What to expect
The Giardino Garibaldi is a tranquil public garden in the heart of Palermo, Sicily. This charming green space, created in the 19th century, features a mix of romance and wild atmosphere, with palm trees, magnolias, and giant banyans. The garden's star attraction is a massive ficus tree, considered one of the largest in Europe, with sprawling roots and tangled branches. Visitors can stroll through the garden, exploring its natural beauty and discovering the statue of Giuseppe Garibaldi, as well as busts of famous Sicilians. The garden has a rich history, having been built on a site that once hosted trials and executions during the Inquisition. Today, it serves as a peaceful retreat for locals and visitors alike, offering a unique blend of nature, history, and culture
