Florence, the city of hidden gardens. Artistic, centuries-old, and beautiful.
They are hidden behind high walls, wrought iron gates, and provide refreshment to the millions of Florentines and tourists who decide to take a moment of rest.
While many gardens are accessible, some are developed in height to stand out over Florence.
