7 reviews of Park of the Monsters - Sacro Bosco di Bomarzo

The Garden of Bomarzo

Excellent

The Monster Park, also known as the Sacro Bosco, is located in the town of Bomarzo in the Viterbo province. It was designed by the architect Pirro Ligorio and built between 1552 and 1580 at the instigation of prince Pier Francesco Orsini after the death of his wife Giulia Farnese.

The ample park stretches between the leafy green trees of the pretty forest and is dotted with statues and sculptures of monsters and beasts charged with symbolic importance. You find yourself in a fantasy world full of giants and monsters and it actually makes you think. There are whales, turtles, lions,a two-tailed mermaid, dragons, nymphs, elephants, and all sorts of bizarre creatures.


When you first see the giant orc with its mouth agape it sets an eerie tone, and you almost start feeling dizzy!
