Gambassi Terme Municipal Park

A green space for adults and children in the centre of the village

The municipal park of Gambassi Terme runs parallel to the central Via Garibaldi and offers a green and pedestrian alternative to those who, from the spa, want to go down to Piazza Roma, the heart of summer evenings and the crossroads to the old village. Between the 19th and 20th century, the garden was part of the property of the Sinnai family, which then passed into the hands of the Niccoli family who, from 1916, began planting valuable plants and essences, a collection of natural curiosities from overseas, from the villa owner’s many trips to the Americas and Africa. Due to the financial collapse of the Niccoli family, the municipality managed to buy the large Podere Giardino between 1936 and 1938. Today, in the shade of the black pine, of the locust tree that is tinged with delicate white flowers in late spring, in the shade of the majestic horse chestnut, holm oaks and cypresses, the life of the gambasini runs on. On spring afternoons or summer evenings, it is filled with voices, childhood cries, teenage love affairs and senior promenades. It is a beautiful public park, one of the most beautiful sunsets in the country.
