Along the Viottolone, one encounters various classically-themed statues, generally dated from between the late 1500's and early 1600's. Running parallel to the lane is the, "Cerchiata", a long path with a kind of continuous ´awning´ formed by pruned holm oaks and dating from the Parigi renovations of 1612-1614. Worth visiting here is the Upper Botanical Garden ("Giardino Botanico Superiore"), created between 1841 and 1850 by Filippo Parlatore.
