Bomarzo The park of Monsters


Today we have been at Bomarzo, an incredible park few km from Tuscany in Northern Lazio. The park of Monsters of Bomarzo was made by the architect Pirro Ligorio on request from the Prince Pier Francesco Orsini and it was completed in the year 1552 as the Park of Wonders. The park was renamed as Park of Monsters in the year 1954 by Mr Giovanni Bettini who managed it. Nowadays the park is the place where tourists and local people from Bomarzo go to spend few relaxing hours during the weekend. The park is a really incredible place where mythology meets fantasy creating an incredible world. The park is open all year from morning until 7pm. If you wish to contact the park management the telephone number is +39 0761924029.

If you are planning to eat in Bomarzo, in the park there is a kind of restaurant quite cheap but not bad. If you wish to have a more delicious lunch or dinner I would suggest to go to Agriturismo la Civetta, which is on the way to the park. Food is excellent and the service too.. Price is a bit high, though. We spent almost 40 euros per person.
