Enclosed between the city walls, the zecca (the
mint) with the adjacent houses, and the Viale del Museo, lie the
Vatican Gardens, or Boscareccio, into which visitors are admitted
only with the special permission of the sub-Prefect of the Vatican
Palace. They are reached through the museum entrance on the western
side of the palace. To the left of the entrance below is the English
Garden, in which the palma grande (the tallest palm in Rome) and
fine citron and orange trees grow under a protecting roof. At the
end of the broad path to the right is a walk, bordered by boxwood
trees fifteen to twenty feet high, which leads between oaks and
ilex trees up the hill on which stands the Casino of Leo XIII, resting
on one of the huge towers of the Leonine Wall.
