Botanical Garden of the University of Granada, University botanical garden in central Granada, Spain.
The Botanical Garden of the University of Granada is an educational facility organized into distinct sections where plants are arranged with scientific labels. Each area focuses on different plant groupings arranged in a systematic order.
Founded in 1783 on grounds previously used by Jesuits, this garden began as a vegetable plot before becoming a center for botanical teaching and research. Its evolution reflects the university's growing commitment to scientific study.
The entrance features relief sculptures honoring botanists from centuries past, reflecting the scientific tradition rooted in this place. Visitors can see how botanical study remains woven into the university's daily work and identity.
The garden is located on Calle Duquesa and offers free access during academic semesters on weekdays. It is best to visit during these times, as hours may shift outside the regular university calendar.
The garden houses one of the earliest Ginkgo biloba trees planted on the Iberian Peninsula. This tree represents an early chapter in the exchange of botanical specimens between Europe and Asia.
