Parco di Bomarzo

The sacred park of Bomarzo is home to 38 fantastic and scary sculptures. The area was the idea of a prince in 1552 and the statues were sculpted on site.

We arrived around lunch time and were welcomed by a thunder and hail storm, it was quite noisy and wet, so we decided to go for lunch and wait it (hopefully) out. An incredibly nice meal (Ristorante La Molinella, you were amazing) later, we tried our luck to the park again as the storm had stopped.

The sky was an incredible shade of blue, which worked perfectly against the colour of the wet grass and the sculptures. Due to the storm, the park was basically empty, making the walk even better!

I hadn't been here since I was about 8 and had been wanting to go again for a while now. I didn't regret it for a second!Read more
