Pallanca exotic gardens

The Pallanca gardens extend across 10,000 square meters of terraced hillside, containing over 3,000 types of succulent plants and cacti arranged in thematic sections.

In 1861, founder Giacomo Pallanca left his olive production business to collaborate with German botanist Ludwig Winter, establishing this specialized botanical collection.

The garden functions as an open-air museum, displaying rare specimens including a 300-year-old Copiapoa from Chile and a six-meter-tall Neobuxbaumia polylopha.

Located at Via Madonna della Ruota 1, the garden opens Tuesday through Sunday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with admission fees of 6 euros per person.

The garden maintains separate microclimates across multiple levels, enabling the cultivation of over 30,000 individual plant specimens from different global regions.
