    The Garden of the Queen is a short path, easily accessible with children and offers the thrill of discovering a place shrouded in mystery. The path starts immediately uphill but is very short (about 800 meters to the destination), for where the difficulty level is really low. You know you're on the right path because there are fences that accompany you and the climb is made easier by steps made from tree trunks. A few meters later, there it was, in the middle of the forest surrounded by trees and covered in green moss. A large wall, made of enormous trachyte boulders, which extends for a perimeter of approximately 250 metres. How many millennia have passed since man laid the first stone here? It is not known, it is thought that the walls were built around the 5th century BC, evidence of the presence of man in very ancient times in this area. It is not even clear what the function was: some speak of a temple dedicated to a divinity from the pre-Roman epic, while others assume it was a military post which had the function of controlling the border areas. Even the name "garden" suggests one of these two hypotheses: "hortus" means enclosure (used in a military sense), or it can also be understood as a sacred place.
