A short journey from hectic Rome to Ninfa will reward the traveler with what the New York Times defined as “the most beautiful garden in the world”. The garden was also voted the most beautiful garden of Italy in 2015. Ninfa’s gardens are located on the ruins of the old city of Ninfa, at the bottom of the Lepini mounts, situated at the junction of the cities of Sermoneta, Norma and Cisterna di Latina.
The old city was founded as a small village or a settlement of a few peasants along the path of via Pedemontana–Volsca that linked Rome to lower Lazio. Its geographical setting was and still is the basis of all its horticultural richness. Via Pedemontana–Volsca in medieval times was the only roadway that was utilized for commercial traffic, since via Appia was rendered unusable by the growing marshes in the Pontina flatlands.
