The Vatican Gardens are a series of beautiful gardens and green spaces located within the Vatican City. Covering about half of the Vatican's territory, these gardens feature a variety of plants, fountains, and sculptures, providing a serene environment for visitors. They were established in the 16th century and are a blend of Renaissance and Baroque styles. Access to the Vatican Gardens is limited, and visitors typically need to join a guided tour to explore them. The gardens also contain several important buildings, including the Apostolic Palace and the Vatican Radio headquarters, making them a significant part of the Vatican's history and culture.
