The Garden of Ninfa is a park in the territory of Latina, central Italy.
It has a surface of 105 hectares.
History
The garden includes the remains of the ancient city of Ninfa, perhaps founded by the Volscians at the feet of the Monti Lepini. In the Middle Ages the town was a rich commune on the Appian Way, being 1159 by order of emperor Frederick Barbarossa, after his enemy Pope Alexander III had taken refuge in the town.
Ninfa was repopulated by its inhabitants, under the seigniory of the Caetani, but in the 16th century remained desert due to the expansion of the surrounding marshes and the arrival of malaria.
The castle and the area were renewed in the 20th century in the English garden style.
