A very famous European town, Palma is also a very beautiful place. Many of the old buildings along the river here are well preserved. The cathedral is also one of the good places to hold weddings. There are also many tourists visiting here, including many foreign groups.

意大利中部的珀尔玛市中心有一个很大的公园,可以翻译为公爵花园 (Parco Ducale)。三四百年前是珀尔玛的法尔塞公爵的一个私人森林花园,随着1731年法尔塞家族的灭绝,花园里的树木被砍伐并烧毁。后来成了公园才得到保护,现在公园里有很多大树。

It only takes about 10 minutes to walk from the train station. It's right next to Peace Square. You have to be careful to find it. It's not because the location is secretive and hard to find, but because it's not as grand and gorgeous as you imagined, but it can be considered a A monument, in the architectural history of theater, it is said to be the birthplace. I took photos to commemorate it with the feeling of pilgrimage, but unfortunately I was short of time and could not visit inside.
