Pavia Botanic Garden, Botanical garden of University of Pavia, Italy
The garden spans five acres and contains numerous plant species, including a collection of American and Asian orchids in dedicated conservatories.
Established in 1773 following recommendations from Count Karl Joseph von Firmian, the garden replaced an earlier medicinal plant garden from 1558.
The garden maintains the Herbarium of the University of Pavia, containing dried plant specimens and watercolor illustrations dating back to the 18th century.
The garden welcomes visitors Monday through Thursday from 9:00 to 12:30 and 14:30 to 17:00, with Friday hours from 9:00 to 12:30.
A plane tree planted during the garden's foundation over 250 years ago still grows within the grounds, marking the initial development of this space.
