Nymph, English botanical garden around a crystal clear water pond, mysterious eden where in the Middle Ages stood a small town then abandoned for several facts. It became a garden at the beginning of the twentieth century, it houses specimens of fauna and flora, coming from all over the world. Of the ancient medieval town there are the ruins of the Castle, some walls and churches with remains of frescoes and the history of a city where emperors, popes and popes have passed the lordship of the Caetans.
At the beginning of the 20th century, Prince Gelasio Caetani began to take care of the overall restoration of the town. In the Prince's intentions, there was the possibility to make the Castle habitable and make it his own summer residence.
Alongside the restoration of the Castle, he began to give life to the primitive garden, planting above all plants harvested on it during his travels around the world. Subsequently it was the daughter-in-law, Margherita Chapin, who in the thirties, committed herself to create an English garden model in Ninfa. Men and women with an exquisite taste gave life to this wonderful oasis of Latina.
