The Forgotten garden Plants, also known as the Rasponi Garden, located at the intersection of the via Rasponi and via Guerrini in Ravenna. This charming green oasis, open to the public, tucked away behind the thick walls. To get into the garden, passing through the elegant courtyard and the gate of the 18th century, designed by Camillo Morigia. And the courtyard, and the gates have recently been carefully restored and regained its former splendor.
The initiators of the garden were made by the local authority and the people's Bank of Ravenna (Banca Popolare di Ravenna), who decided to give the city square where history meets nature, where locals and tourists can enjoy a relaxing stroll and relax in the fresh air.
The special location of the Rasponi Garden between palaces that once belonged to noble families of Ravenna, and the shape of its flower beds that surround the Central fountain made of wrought iron, allocate this garden among others. On beds of plants used for medicinal purposes, alternate with those traditionally used in Mediterranean cuisine. Thus, here near the fragrant hyssop and aquifolium Holly can be seen Basil, capers and oregano. And the hops and cubistic drug are combined with carrots, artichokes and chicory.
The Forgotten garden Plants with his magic gate is truly a wonderful place for amazing discoveries. The strong walls surrounding the garden on the perimeter, muffle urban noise, literally creating a tangible magical atmosphere, complete with colors and scents of the herbs. Hence it becomes visible to other Ravenna is on the horizon rises the dome of the Cathedral and surrounded by other historic buildings.
