   Villa Sciarra

   15min

   We will then enter Villa Sciarra, a public park that presents a very rich variety of Mediterranean flora with over 12 tree species as well as a very particular sculptural decoration. Exotic plants mix with those typical of the Mediterranean scrub as the last owner, the very rich Henriette Tower, wife of George Whurt, wanted by personalising her gardens.
