Sežana botanical park

The botanical garden spans two hectares and contains over 170 non-native plant species, including a cedar grove, cypress trees, and Mediterranean specimens.

The Greek merchant family Scaramangà established the garden in 1848, collecting plants during their travels and constructing a greenhouse modeled after Vienna's Schönbrunn in 1890.

The garden functions as an educational center within Slovenia's network of botanical gardens, offering workshops and activities focused on plant science and horticulture.

The garden welcomes visitors daily from 8:00 to 19:00 during summer months and 8:00 to 16:00 in winter, with admission prices ranging from 4 to 6 euros.

The entrance area features a rare Balearic box roundabout from southern Spain, complemented by geometric Renaissance-style paths leading to the historic greenhouse.
