Description
Some labyrinths were true garden hedge labyrinths, others buildings secreted deep within a garden, still others curious twisting mazes of tunnel arbors, some were three dimensional, incorporating staircases leading to upper levels. Whatever shape or form they took, these labyrinths of love were the perfect place for forbidden dalliances. By the sixteenth century hedge mazes and/or labyrinths were features of many noble gardens, as also communal gardens. Maze gardens proliferated during the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries. Maze and unicursal labyrinth gardens continue to be built and remain popular today, most being found in public parks, or the few which remain in vast private estate gardens. A maze is a complex tour puzzle in the form of a complex branching passage through which the solver must find a route. Villa Pisani is famous for its labyrinth of love, actually a rather difficult maze full of wrong turns and dead ends, built in the 18th century, made of box hedges, one of the three hedge mazes surviving in Italy.

Mighty interesting. No joke...do folks have to be rescued from these places from time to time? I got the same feeling in the Munich Airport one time...trapped behind walls of glass with no way to get down to my departure gate...can be a bit scarry.
