Visit · 1 h 30 · €8 · A Renaissance garden of terraces and chained fountains, with two twin palazzinas and a park

What it is
One of the great Italian Renaissance gardens, in Bagnaia, 5 km from Viterbo. Cardinal Gambara began it in the 16th century: the water runs down a series of terraces, fountains and a water chain carved in stone to a square pool with islands at the bottom. Instead of one large palace there are two twin palazzinas, the Palazzina Gambara and the Palazzina Montalto, and around them a park of holm oaks.
Opening times and tickets
Closed on Mondays. From Tuesday to Saturday it opens at 8:30 and closes at 16:30 from November to March, at 17:30 in October and at 19:30 from April to September; entry is allowed until one hour before closing. On Sundays and public holidays in November and December it is open only from 10:30 to 13:30. It costs €8, or €2 for the reduced rate. There is no need to book. The first floor of the Palazzina Gambara can be visited on Wednesdays at 10:30 and 14:30 with a booking the day before; the Montalto, on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 11:00 to 12:00 and on Sundays.
What you need to know
You may not eat or play ball games in the garden or the park. It may close in bad weather. Dogs are allowed in the park on a lead, and muzzled if medium or large; in the garden, only small ones in a carrier.

## Consejos

### In winter, go on a weekday
From November to March it opens only in the morning on Sundays.

### Climb to the top
The garden makes sense from the highest terrace, with the water running down towards the pool.
