Furthermore, it is one of Sardinia\u2019s <strong>Historical Gardens<\/strong> and can be considered a <strong>natural, open-air museum<\/strong>. The park is the natural evolution of the antique garden at the <strong>palazzo belonging to the Aymerich family<\/strong>, feudal lords in the area until the XIX century.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>park with Italian Aymerich garden<\/strong> covers an area of around<strong> 22 hectares<\/strong>. The <strong>garden<\/strong> was created by the botany enthusiast, <strong>Marquis Ignazio Aymerich<\/strong> (Cagliari, 1808 \u2013 Cagliari, 1881). Around <strong>1830<\/strong>, the marquis created the nature reserve, by planting hundreds of rare plants brought back his frequent trips around Europe and the rest of the world.<\/p>\n<p>From the <strong>main entrance<\/strong> in via Don Minzoni, inside the dwelling, the itinerary starts in a <strong>forest<\/strong> of <strong>local species<\/strong> and <strong>fruit crops<\/strong>. Here we can find specimens of <strong>holm oaks<\/strong>, <strong>downy oaks<\/strong>, <strong>cherry<\/strong>, <strong>olive<\/strong>, <strong>carob<\/strong> trees and <strong>strawberry trees<\/strong>. The scenery which acts as a backdrop to the vegetation is interspersed with <strong>natural caverns<\/strong>, <strong>lakes<\/strong>, <strong>brooks <\/strong>and\u00a0<strong>waterfalls<\/strong>, including one of the most important ones, the <strong>Cascata Maggiore<\/strong>.<br \/>\n<strong>Water<\/strong> is another feature found in the park in abundance throughout the year, thanks to the confluence of <strong>spring waters<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Along the route of the various <strong>pathways,<\/strong> we can admire different species of <strong>wild orchids<\/strong>, some of which are <strong>widespread<\/strong>. Worth pointing out along the <strong>tree-lined routes are the<\/strong> different <strong>exotic tree species<\/strong>, including the magnificent <strong>Lebanese Cedar<\/strong> and the <strong>Deodar Cedar<\/strong>. These include the oldest and most magnificent specimen, which is a <strong>Lebanese Cedar<\/strong> personally planted by <strong>Ignazio Aymerich<\/strong> in 1835. Brought directly from the Middle East, it is considered an authentic <strong>natural monument<\/strong>, included in the <strong>national list of monumental trees<\/strong>. The tree is almost <strong>30 metres high<\/strong> with a <strong>trunk circumference<\/strong> of around <strong>4.5 metres<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Of no less importance are the specimens of <strong>Pinus Nigra<\/strong> and <strong>English Yew<\/strong>. We find other <strong>exotic specimens<\/strong> in the Italian garden such as <strong>Colletia cruciata<\/strong>, nowadays <strong>listed<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>as a national monumental species<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Walking through the park towards the summit of the hill, we come to a <strong>belvedere<\/strong>, where the <strong>ruins of a Medieval castle<\/strong> can be found. Built in the XIII century on the remains of an <strong>ancient <em>Byzantine<\/em> castrum<\/strong> it was used to control the borders between the <strong>Giudicati of Arborea and Cagliari<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The park extends across a steeply sloping hillside and is run by the <strong>regional \u201cForestas\u201d<\/strong> agency, while the <strong>Italian garden<\/strong> is a private area of around 2 hectares and sits to the front of the historical residence of the <strong>Aymerich<\/strong> <strong>family<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":28084,"template":"","tipologia":[1015,987],"categoria":[1022],"tematica":[1031],"class_list":["post-29285","place","type-place","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tipologia-giardino-botanico-en","tipologia-parco-naturalistico-en","categoria-naturalistic-asset","tematica-nature"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.13 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Parco Aymerich - Idese<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/idese.cultura.gov.it\/en\/place\/parco-aymerich\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Parco Aymerich - Idese\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The Parco Aymerich sits in the district of the town of Laconi, in the Province of Oristano.
