Villa Ormond Gardens
Parco di Villa Ormond
A free public park on the seafront in the eastern part of town, planted with palms, cacti and subtropical flowers, with a small Japanese garden.
The Villa Ormond Gardens date from the late 19th century. They were once the private gardens of Swiss merchant Ormond, and today they are a free municipal park. The villa itself houses the International Institute of Humanitarian Law. The garden contains palms, dragon trees, cacti and flowering shrubs from around the world, as well as a Japanese garden and a koi pond gifted by a sister city in Japan. You can visit them together with nearby Villa Nobel and the seafront cycle path. It is a quiet spot away from the busy main streets.
