Bomarzo, the Sacred Wood or Park of Monsters
The ancient Bomarzo Sacred Wood was planned as a sort of “ Wonderpark” by the architect Pirro Ligorio (who also completed the Cathedral of San Pietro after the death of Michelangelo and realized the Villa d'Este of Tivoli) by order of the Prince Pier Francesco Orsini in 1552, and was intended to be a work one and only all over the world. It is a wonderful succession of mythological and fantasy statues and edifices in the middle of Italian garden as well as a magnificent natural ancient wood. The Park is a few kilometers from the A-1 freeway exit of Attigliano. The ticket cost is 10 euro (adults) and 8 euro for chlidren aged from 4 to 14.
