    Parco dei Mostri

    Posted by ChrisMin 24 May 2011

    Be shocked, amused and impressed by giant mythical monsters that hide in every twist and turn along a wooded path. What astonished me was that the garden was created almost 500 years ago. Famous visitors include Salvador Dali. It is original and entertaining, a good place for an afternoon visit especially if you are trailing children around Rome or Tuscany.

    Find it off the A1, half way between Rome and Orvietto. Buses stop nearby.
