Probably the biggest and most awesome out of all the countries on the cultural gardens.

Very quaint and simple gardens area. Nice fountain to sit by and enjoy on the upper level. We had a small family wedding celebration on the upper half and took some photos on the lower half. Overall, the street area can be noisy but it is in a city area. My complaint would be lack of parking. We ended up parking on a side street.

The Cleveland Cultural Gardens are one of the greatest hidden gems in the Cleveland area! Beautiful, inviting, educational. Also FREE! Highly recommend visiting.

From East Boulevard, the garden has a broad paved walkway leading to a large piazza with a fountain and a balustrade overlooking the Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway. The front of the piazza is a backdrop to the amphitheater accessed by a pair of spiral stairs. The front facing the Parkway and Parkgate Ave. has bas-relief heads of Giotto, Michelangelo and Petrarca on the left and Giuseppe Verdi, Leonardo da Vinci and Guglielmo Marconi on the right. Entering the garden, before the piazza, there is a statue of Dante Alighieri to the left. He is seated, with a book and holding a pen. On the base in the front is a quote from the Heaven section of the Divine Comedy. On Dante's right is a quote from Hell and on his left a quote from Purgatory. Sadly the small statues that must have decorated the small alcoves in the base have disappeared. This section of the garden also has a rock from Monte Grappa that memorializes the Ohio soldiers who fell on Italian soil during the First World War. To the right as you enter is a bust of the poet Virgil.

A large Renaissance fountain modeled after the fountain in the Villa Medici in Rome, Italy sits in the center piazza. A bust of the Roman poet Virgil, also large bronze statue of Dante Alighieri. Year dedicated: 1930
