A rich, grotesque and beautifully arranged botanical garden. The garden was originally laid down 1912 and 1914 by Arturo Hruska, a rich dentist. In its modern appearance it was opened in 1989; it belongs to André Heller Foundation. Perhaps it's better to rush to the Vittoriale first and then if you have some energy and time left come to see this garden.

A grand neo-classical villa built between 1901 and 1910. Today it is a convention center.
The shrine of Italian victories
An eccentric (like its former owner) estate of an Italian writer Gabriele d'Annunzio after his defenestration in 1922. References to the Vittoriale range from a “monumental citadel” to a “fascist lunapark”, the site inevitably inheriting the controversy surrounding its creator. The estate consists of the residence (house) of d'Annunzio called the Prioria (priory), an amphitheatre, the protected cruiser Puglia set into a hillside, a boathouse with the MAS 96 vessel used by D'Annunzio in 1918 and a circular mausoleum. Its grounds are now part of the Grandi Giardini Italiani circuit.
ex Torre Ruhland
Built at the beginning of the 20th century, in 1925 it was bought by Gabriele D'Annunzio and become a part of its Vittoriale. It is owned by Fondazione Vittoriale degli Italiani. In season a piano bar is opened there.
