그레브 인 키안티‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪11‬개의 천연기념물

As a plant expert and botany enthusiast, Ferdinando Panciatichi Ximenes d’Aragona designed the large green area surrounding Sammezzano Castle, approximately 65 hectares, which constitutes the current Historic Park. Around the ancient "ragnaia" (woodland) formed by a high forest of holm oaks, Ferdinando decided to place numerous rare and exotic plants. Their purpose was to serve the dual purpose of beautifying the exterior and gradually introducing visitors and guests to the wonders of the "Moorish" style of the Villa-Castle of Sammezzano. Among the exotic species introduced by Ferdinando, the most well-known are undoubtedly the majestic sequoias (Sequoia sempervirens and Sequoia gigantea), which, as demonstrated by the remarkable size they reached in just 150 years, certainly found the geological, soil, and climatic conditions favorable to their growth. Among these, the so-called "twin sequoia" stands out, as its trunk forks into two enormous vertical branches a few meters from the base. It is almost 54 meters tall and, with a circumference of 837 centimeters, the tallest sequoia in Italy. It is not only one of Italy's monumental trees, but also one of the select group of "150 trees of exceptional environmental or monumental value."

A very beautiful garden to linger in. It's especially worth visiting in the evening and at sunset – it offers an excellent view of the city.

you can indulge in the most varied ways. The paths can be traveled in both directions. It is obvious that it is always advisable to travel it in the direction that I have trodden and traced. No one is stopping you from doing it in the opposite direction.

A wonderful garden that is definitely worth visiting

Very beautiful rose garden with many different roses. A great place for people who just want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and love flowers. On top of that, there is a beautiful view of Florence.

A bit disappointing for a 10 euro entrance fee. Hardly any benches, confusing route, no possibility to get something to eat, in places quite poorly maintained

In my opinion, the view of the city is best here.

A perfect climb. Tough, varied on different surfaces and with ups and downs in the woods. Maximum satisfaction
