Bomarzo - Sculpture Garden

The Bomarzo Sculpture Garden (a.k.a. Monsters' Grove, The Sacred Wood, Villa of Monsters and The Park of the Monsters), located in Lazio Region of Italy, is a dark journey through the depths of psychosis. A place that once peaked the interest of the surrealist Salvador Dali, the garden is magical, and has the inimitable character that only time can conjure. Carvings were made in the natural stone that existed onsite, and now stand as living hallucinations, seemingly scattered at random throughout the wooded property. Realised under the name "Villa of Monsters" in 1552, this unique garden has all the character, creativity and natural mystery needed to call it a true wonder of the world.
