Traveler reviews
Manu
★★★★★a year agoUno dei primi e più funzionali moderni parchi veronesi! Allego due foto del vecchio parco San Giacomo alla Tomba, di fianco al nuovo ospedale, dove c'era il famoso centro per malattie mentali (tra gli ospiti anche il grande artista Zinelli)! Storia importante, si vedono ancora i resti della chiesetta del 1522 Purtroppo sta tutto cadendo a pezzi!

★★★★★Edited a year agoBellissimo parco vicino all ospedale Borgo Roma, credo sia la zona verde più bella di Verona; numerose panchine, tantissimi alberi e zona giochi per i più piccoli!
