Baldassare Forestiere was a young citrus farmer in Sicily who immigrated to the United States in 1901 to pursue his dream of creating his own citrus farm. After acquiring his own land, he began to create what we know today as Forestiere Underground Gardens in Fresno. With nothing but simple farm tools, he carved a series of tunnels, rooms, courtyards, and catacombs underground, with gardens growing throughout the underground space. Each room features classic Roman architecture, with arches built entirely from local stone.
