    In city center, place where you can sit and relax with a book. Or go for a walk see the oldest and the biggest Ficus tree in Europe.

    Lovely spot to enjoy the garden and banyan trees. Definitely to be seen and savored. Lilac like flowers were in bloom with all their fragrance. A 150 year old banyan is the star. Stop and sit for 20 minutes to renew oneself.

    My favourite park in city center. A lot of benches to sit, amazing trees of ficus and fountain full of turtles, roses, orange trees.

    Just some siesta shadow in the middle of old Town walking ;) Somehow life saving in hot day time.

    Nice park with plenty of shaded benches for when you need to get out of the sun for a while. The fascinating fig trees are worth a visit, and of course the turtles. There were plenty of people walking their dogs here, and unlike in the rest of the city, they did pick up after them!

    Some of the ornamental heads were missing but the plants, trees and water feature were very photogenic

  • 5/5 Festus_ 8 months ago on Google
    A beautiful park with charming flora, especially the famous ficus trees. A fountain full of swimming turtles will provide lots of fun watching them.

  • 5/5 Liala O. 11 months ago on Google
    Cute little park perfect for a short stroll and very photogenic. They have a fountain full of turtles here aswell!

  • 5/5 T C. 10 months ago on Google
    Scenic garden located near by harbour and the city. Tranquil to sit on the bench and enjoy the atmosphere. Local turtles

  • 5/5 Piotr D. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Ante K. 11 months ago on Google
    Small but beautiful park, has few incredible examples of huge ficus and magnolia trees

  • 5/5 Claudio P. 11 months ago on Google
    A calm oasis with large trees and benches. After a day walking around Palermo, we enjoyed an hour's rest here.

  • 4/5 Tim E. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice city garden, with Sunday Market, worth visiting just to see the strangler tree's

  • 2/5 Dana B. 1 year ago on Google
    The park looked pretty but it was completely locked. We went on a sunny Friday in the afternoon and could only walk around the outside of the fence.

  • 4/5 Denisa M. 8 months ago on Google
    Nice park with extraordinary trees. Really worth seeing. Only 4 stars because there is damw mess and smell from bins as everywhere in Palermo.

  • 5/5 Andy R. 1 year ago on Google
    Really great. Although the oranges were extremely sour. However, the grapefruits were exceptionally juicy

  • 5/5 Vicki B. 1 year ago on Google
    On Sundays, there is a flea market that surrounds it, and it is fun to visit. The park itself is beautiful. With very old banyan trees.

  • 5/5 Marek �. 1 year ago on Google
    Small public park, yet clean and impressive.

  • 5/5 Jonatan S. 1 year ago on Google
    Impressive trees! Must see when in Palermo.

  • 5/5 david H. 9 months ago on Google
    Nice park for a wander & relax in the shade of unusual large trees. Some turtles in the pond.

  • 5/5 Elena U. 2 years ago on Google
    Wonderful place. Small park with huge banyan trees. Sicilia sometimes looks like little India 😀

  • 5/5 Rik De B. 2 years ago on Google
    A hidden treasure where you find trees that are more than 170 years old and a fountain filled with local tourtoises who are probably as old as the impressive Ficus trees.

  • 5/5 Eli S. 2 years ago on Google
    Wonderful! The trees are stunning and the shade is so comforting

  • 4/5 Edina Kovács, P. 2 years ago on Google
    Really nice, but you better go there on a weekday, it's a bit crowded on weekend.

  • 4/5 Václav �. 2 years ago on Google

    Nice shady park surrounded by people selling antique stuff

  • 5/5 Rachael 1 year ago on Google
    Cozy park, never too crowded, fun vintage market surrounding it on the weekend. Worth visiting to see (possibly) Europe's largest tree.

  • 4/5 hagay i. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice park with the biggest tree in Europe

  • 5/5 Agnieszka �. 2 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Konstantinos B. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice little park to relax. Close to shopping center. You can have a coffee or something to eat in nearby shops.

  • 2/5 Martin P. 2 years ago on Google
    Great history, nice buildings. Nice park. Nice people.... BUT WHY SO DIRTY AND RUBISH EVERYWHERE???

  • 4/5 David O. 1 year ago on Google
    Feels a bit like an oasis in the city heat. Only 4 stars as it can be a bit difficult to find a seat. Unusual trees make it quite interesting

  • 5/5 Eugen D. 1 year ago on Google
    Great public garden! Unbelivable ficus trees! They keep shadow that help people support the hot weather.

  • 5/5 Kuala B. 4 years ago on Google
    Loving magic place for its majestic trees (ficus magnolioides). This ancient square has been redesigned by Basile in 1864. I also love the fence decoration.

  • 5/5 Fred S. 1 year ago on Google
    Magnificent fig trees in a quiet well maintained garden in Palermo which is also near to the sea. A peaceful sanctuary on any day away from the hustle & bustle in Palermo.

  • 5/5 Rafal E. 1 year ago on Google
    Huge and very unique tree in a nice park

  • 5/5 Maciek W. 2 years ago on Google
