A serene highlight of the Boboli Gardens in Florence, Fontana delle Scimmie (“Monkey Fountain”) dates back to the 17th century and showcases playful simian figures perched around a small water basin. Their mischievous postures and lifelike expressions fascinate visitors, adding a whimsical touch to the garden’s grand Renaissance design. Tucked into the southwestern corner, the fountain is often overlooked by crowds, making it an ideal spot to pause and soak up the tranquil atmosphere. Nearby, explore ornate architecture, hidden pathways, and elegant grottos that reveal Boboli’s rich history. Comfortable shoes are recommended to fully enjoy the expansive grounds.
