THE BOMARZO MONASTERY PARK
The Parco dei Mostri, also known as Sacro Bosco or Villa delle Meraviglie di Bomarzo, in the province of Viterbo is an Italianmonumental complex. It is a natural park adorned with numerous basalt sculptures dating back to the 16th century and depicting mythological animals, deities and monsters. The park covers an area of about 3 hectares, in a coniferous forest. Inside there are a large number of sculptures of various sizes representing mythological animals, but also buildings that reflect the classical world and / or cancel the rules of perspective or aesthetics, in order to confuse the visitor. The original purpose with which the park was built is unknown: over the course of time numerous hypotheses have been formulated that would see the place as an "initiatory path".
