The labyrinth will be constructed on the Island of San Giorgio Maggiore in the area to the rear of the Palladian Cloister and the Cypress Cloister, so as to form a kind of “third cloister”. The aim of the project is to create a garden full of spiritual meanings in memory of Borges.
The labyrinth will also be the backdrop for a long-term programme of varied cultural events. These events – both educational and artistic – will be inspired by Borges’ work and the epistemological and his torical-cultural issues raised by his imaginary world, such as the relationship between narrative and the fi gurative and performing arts and that between narrative and natural sciences.
A permanent installation, the Borges Labyrinth will be open to the public in the form of guided visits.
During Saturdays and Sundays the monumental complex is open to visitors from 10.00 to 17.00, every hour. During weekdays, guided tours are for groups, upon reservation.
