Giardino botanico Clelia Durazzo Grimaldi

The 4,500-square-meter garden displays twenty distinct plant groups, including carnivorous plants, succulents, tropical orchids, palms, ferns, and Mediterranean species.

Clelia Durazzo Grimaldi established this garden in 1794 as a private collection, which was later donated to the city of Genoa in 1928.

The garden maintains its scientific mission through educational programs and guided tours that focus on plant conservation and botanical research.

Visitors access the garden through Villa Durazzo-Pallavicini on Via della Maona, where they can explore different sections dedicated to specific plant ecosystems.

The collection features 220 succulent varieties alongside a Madagascar flora diorama and year-round flowering tropical orchids, particularly Cattleyas and Maxillaria species.
