Cluj-Napoca Botanical Garden, Historic botanical garden in Cluj-Napoca, Romania.
The Alexandru Borza Botanical Garden extends across 14 hectares, presenting over 10,000 plant species from various regions of the world through dedicated sections.
Founded in 1872 by Hungarian linguist Samuel Brassai, the garden underwent significant development when Alexandru Borza took directorship in 1920 after university administration changes.
The Roman Garden section features a statue of goddess Ceres alongside authentic coffins discovered in ancient Napoca, connecting visitors to regional history.
The garden maintains six specialized greenhouse sections, including spaces for palm trees, Mediterranean plants, succulents, orchids, and an aquarium collection.
The garden houses Romania's largest herbarium collection with 750,000 pressed plant specimens, contributing extensively to the documentation of national flora.
