Orto Botanico di Portici, Botanical garden in Portici, Italy.
The Orto Botanico di Portici extends across 20,000 square meters within the grounds of a former royal palace, containing over 4,000 plant specimens representing 1,000 different species.
The garden originated in 1872 following the departure of the Bourbon dynasty, when two ornamental gardens were transformed into a botanical research facility by professor Nicola Antonio Pedicino.
The institution operates under the University of Naples Federico II Faculty of Agriculture, serving as a center for botanical research, education, and preservation of plant biodiversity.
Located at Via Università 100 in Portici, the garden accepts visitors during weekday mornings through advance reservations and requires an entrance fee.
The garden maintains an extensive collection of desert plants, including 400 species of Cactaceae and a specimen of Welwitschia mirabilis from South Africa.
