The garden of the Municipal Villa Giuseppe Garibaldi, actually a public park owned by the Municipality of Conversano, stands on a large bank of rock, called “Palo” or “Pale”, located on a rocky spur which offers a spectacular panoramic view, constantly blessed by a fresh and gentle breeze.

The layout of the park looks like that of an Italian garden, with a geometric and symmetrical arrangement of its inner spaces. Right after the main entrance, visitors can enjoy a beautiful avenue shaded by holm oaks (Quercus ilex), which leads to an open space decorated with an octagonal flowerbed, bordered by a low hedge.

The western part of the garden features walkways and different perspective views symmetrically developed among the flower beds and an imposing fountain; the latter features an underground stone basin decorated with a white marble statue standing out on an asymmetrical pedestal.

The fountain complex, surrounded by low geometrically modelled hedges, features two pillared entrances decorated with seasonal flower boxes.
