Villa Solaria park

On the outskirts of the city of Sesto Fiorentino, in a beautiful landscape setting, is the park of Villa Solaria. The park covers an area of about 60,000 square metres and is characterised by large lawns separated by dense wooded areas. Among the most remarkable specimens in terms of age and size are cypresses, maples, cedars, horse chestnuts, pines, oaks, redwoods, yews, lindens, white poplars and ginkgo biloba. In 1820, in the lowest part of the garden, "an Etruscan burial ground was found, formed by large stones placed one on top of the other, without lime, so as to form a vault". The stones were later reused to decorate a pond, which is located in the park.
