Споменик природе Фикус — Чачак

The Ficus elastica 'Robusta' specimen is a natural monument located inside the Cultural Center building in Cacak. This tropical tree develops large, glossy leaves and reaches remarkable size while receiving regular botanical care and monitoring.

The Cultural Center building opened in 1971 and provided a protected indoor environment for this tropical species to grow. The tree's designation as a natural monument recognized its exceptional size and botanical significance within the region.

The plant grows openly inside the Cultural Center where visitors encounter it while attending events and exhibitions. Its lush foliage and tropical appearance create a striking contrast with the building's contemporary interior spaces.

The monument is located inside the Cultural Center building and is accessible to visitors during regular opening hours. Visiting during cultural events or exhibitions allows you to explore both the tree and the building's full interior.

This is the largest specimen of this tropical species growing indoors in Southeast Europe. Its presence within a modern cultural institution shows an unusual way of preserving botanical collections in urban settings.
