Botanic Garden

Founded in 1773 and recently undergoing a complete renovation, it houses collections of live plants, botanical models, and architectural elements that outline its history since the late 18th century.

Description

The Botanical Garden preserves its original layout, including the colossal Platanus hispanica, listed among Italy’s monumental trees (planted in 1778, it stands 45 meters tall), the Scopoli Greenhouses (designed by Giuseppe Piermarini), the flower beds, and some fountains. It also hosts the Pavia Tea Bed, the Rose Garden with 184 botanical, ancient, and modern roses, and the Forbidden Vineyard with American and hybrid vines.
