Orto Botanico dell'Università di Cagliari, University botanical garden in Cagliari, Italy.
The botanical garden spans 5 hectares, featuring 600 trees and 1000 succulent plants within Mediterranean, tropical, and desert sections.
Professor Patrizio Gennari established the garden in 1864, leading to its official inauguration in November 1866 as part of the University of Cagliari.
The garden maintains collections from Asia, Australia, Africa, and the Americas, representing global plant diversity alongside local Mediterranean species.
Located at Viale Sant'Ignazio da Laconi 11, the garden provides educational resources for researchers and students studying plant biology and conservation.
Ancient Phoenician and Roman cisterns within the garden grounds now function as specialized habitats for water lilies and papyrus plants.
