Giardini della Reggia di Colorno

The Giardini della Reggia di Colorno is a magnificent garden located beside the ancient palace of Colorno, in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy. The garden, constructed at the end of the 18th century, is built around a magnificent fountain, with a luxurious landscape including French-style manicured gardens and Italian-style ponds. There is a maze of two thousand palm trees, cypress trees and yews, a collection of exotically shaped cypress trees and hedges and a unique cascade of blues and pinks presented by the azaleas and rhododendrons that adorn the garden. This is complimented by a series of exotic flower beds, an English-style rockery and water games. The Reggia di Colorno is also a great spot for wildlife watching, with an abundance of local bird species such as hoopoes and cranes making the garden their home. Take a day trip to Colorno and enjoy the sights and sounds of this spectacular garden!
