Giardino delle Cascate

Apparently this park in Rome’s EUR district closed shortly after it opened in 1961 and remained closed until last year. I believe this particular area was still closed off, as I found no way to get to the walking path just beyond this waterfall besides hopping over a fence. Perhaps the large gate I entered the park through was accidentally left open.

 

There are at least three manmade waterfalls in this park. A cool Parisian / Australian guy who sat next to me on a flight from Paris recommended I check out the EUR district for its unique architecture from the fascist era. Thanks Vaz! This was a nice afternoon getaway from the all the tourist hotspots.
