Orto Botanico Città Studi, Botanical garden at Città Studi, Milan, Italy
Orto Botanico Città Studi is a botanical garden in Milan that features research greenhouses and multiple plant collections spread across its grounds. The garden displays carnivorous plants, cacti, and regional species arranged in different sections.
The site was originally an agricultural estate that the Spanish Rosales family owned for centuries before it became a garden. The botanical garden was created on these grounds in the early 2000s.
The garden serves as a learning space where visitors of all ages discover how plants grow and interact with their environment. You can observe how the collections are arranged to tell stories about different ecosystems and plant families.
The garden opens from March through October and is located at Via Golgi 18, easily accessible by metro. Plan your visit during these months and check opening times in advance, as they may vary by season.
The garden maintains specialized growth chambers for European Union research projects, where scientists study plant behavior under controlled conditions. It also houses a section dedicated to forensic botany, a specialized field that assists in criminal investigations.
