History

At the start of the 19th century, it became a park, which, in the 19th and 20th centuries, was reduced in size by the construction of the exhibition ground, the Planetarium, the Academy of Fine Arts, a ship canal, and railways. The park is maintained as an English landscape garden and is protected as a cultural and natural monument. 

An English landscape garden is a style of garden which began in the early 18th century in England and spread as the principal gardening style across Europe. It replaced the more symmetrical and formal 17th century garden. It drew inspiration from the landscape paintings of Nicolas Poussin and Claude Lorrain and normally included gently rolling lawns, groves of trees, a lake, and recreations of Gothic ruins, temples, bridges, and other picturesque subjects.
