Park Lucio Viatori

Obiščite vrt azalej: botanično območje je ustvaril Luciano Viatori v Gorici in združuje čudovite zbirke rastlin in cvetja.

The Garden of Azaleas, also known as Lucio Viatori Garden, was realized by the homonymous owner, with the aim of creating a garden on the model of nineteenth-century English gardens; over the years 500 varieties of azaleas, with a prevalence of Azalea Japonica, 150 varieties of rhododendrons coming from all over the world, over 300 types of rare roses (both ancient and modern), 50 varieties of camellias and 120 of magnolias, mostly coming from the Lord Peter Smithers and Van Veen collections of Lugano, have been collected.

Challenging Gorizia's climate, which is not suitable for growing azaleas, and reclaiming the soil, Professor Viatori has created a real park of wonders, making an artificial pond on a pre-existing Second World War bomb crater.

The area also comprises a wide selection of spireas and many other "background" species that complete the various scenes created thanks to the "gardener's" imagination, culture, technique and passion.

The areas that group together the various types of plants, classified with tags, can be reached through a series of specially built lanes, flights of steps and wooden footbridges.


The Garden will be open from 30 March until a later date.
