Giardini di Villa Reale is a romantic garden with imitation ruins. It was thought up, together with the late neo-classical main villa, between 1790 and 1793 by the architect Leopoldo Pollack for the Count Barbiano di Belgioioso. The gardens have a small lake which is clean and safe, and is a summer venue for classical music concerts and theatrical operas. The gardens extend to over 20,000 square metres, admission is free and children are only admitted if accompanied by an adult.
