BOTANICAL GARDEN AND MUSEUM

Founded in 1543 by the will of Cosimo I de’ Medici, the Botanical Garden of Pisa is one of the oldest in Europe and the first in the world to have been established for scientific purposes. Today it represents an important area of research and conservation, as well as being a fascinating place for a walk between nature and history.
The garden hosts a vast collection of rare and exotic plants, from every corner of the planet, including centuries-old trees, medicinal plants, and tropical species cultivated in the historic greenhouses. Among the most suggestive corners are the Garden of Simples, with ancient medicinal plants, and the magnificent aquatic plant basin, a small ecosystem waiting to be discovered.
Inside the Garden, there is also a museum dedicated to the history of botany, with artifacts, herbariums, and scientific instruments that tell the evolution of this discipline over the centuries.
Perfect for those who love nature, science, or simply wish for a moment of relaxation, the Botanical Garden of Pisa is an unmissable stop in the heart of the city.
