Jardín Botánico de la Universidad de Valencia

Jardín Botánico de la Universidad de Valencia, Botanical garden in Extramurs, Spain.

The Botanical Garden of the University of Valencia occupies a trapezoidal site of about four hectares on calle Quart, beside the old Turia riverbed. Its planting beds follow a checkerboard layout, the Linnaeus system, later replaced in 1843 by Endlicher's natural method. The grounds also hold herbaria, premises for the botany chair and buildings for the gardeners.

The garden was established in 1802 at a site called Huerto de Tramoyeres, which grew from medicinal herb gardens tied to the university's medical faculty. This connection to medical training shaped the collection over centuries.

The garden functions as a teaching and research hub where visitors can observe real conservation work happening daily. Educational displays reveal how botanists study and protect different plant species from around the world.

The garden lies on calle Quart beside the old Túria riverbed, in the El Botànic neighbourhood. It opens every day except 25 December and 1 January, from 10:00 until sunset, between 18:00 and 21:00 depending on the season. The trapezoidal plot of about four hectares is laid out in planting beds, so allow time to walk the whole site.

The garden's international botanical code and its herbarium initials are both VAL. In 2006 it was declared a Bien de Interés Cultural in the category of historic garden, a status that protects its layout and plantings.
