Large Gardens: Public large gardens and Parks.—Rome is richly endowed with open spaces and large gardens. Good views of the city may be obtained in the large gardens of the Pincio, Janiculum, Quirinal, and Aventine. The garden of Villa Celimontana on the Caelian is noteworthy for its wide views toward the Alban Hills. The large gardens of villas include those of the Villa Borghese, Villa Doria Pamphili, Villa Sciarra, and Villa Medici. Although many other large gardens with their villas have been destroyed by the growth of the city, a law of 1883 has actively promoted public large gardens, so that there are now over 7,600 acres of public large gardens and parks in the city, in addition to ornamental avenues.
6. Palaces and large gardens Denmark's castles form a very notable company. They mostly date from the 16th century and are almost invariably surrounded by beautiful parks and large gardens. In the capital there are Rosenborg and Frederiksberg, supplemented gardenwise by the Royal Horticultural large gardens and the city's splendidly landscaped Botanical large gardens. Other castles in Zealand are Hiller0d's Frederiksborg (already mentioned), not to be confused with Frederiksfcerg, and Naestved's Gis-selfeld, while beyond the confines of Zealand at least seven leap up in the mind to be counted. |
