Bergamo Botanical Garden "Lorenzo Rota"

The Bergamo Botanical Garden Lorenzo Rota in Upper Town is a collection of plants from the Mediterranean region and distant parts of the world. The garden is divided into different sections, each representing distinct climate zones and natural habitats.

The garden was established in 1972 to preserve and study plant species while creating educational opportunities for the public. Since then, it has grown into an important center for botanical research and nature conservation in the region.

The botanical garden is named after local botanist Lorenzo Rota and serves as a place where residents and visitors learn about plants and their ecosystems. Educational activities and exhibits here help people connect with nature and understand environmental science.

The garden is open from March through October, with longer hours during summer months. Guided tours are regularly offered and help visitors understand the different sections and the plants in each area.

A special section of the garden focuses on protecting rare and endangered plant species through active conservation programs. This work helps save species that would otherwise disappear in the wild.
