Botanical Garden of Trieste

Founded in 1842, the Botanical Garden is located on the hill of Chiadino, a green island inside the city. The Garden is enriched with a collection of important and typical plants, in particular with the main “plants of man” (with an economic, medicinal or industrial use) and with a path of ornamental plants from all over the world (with the fragrant collections of hellebore, sage, iris, hydrangea, rose, peony). Furthermore, it is characterized by a geopaleontological route, to recognize rocks and fossils of the Trieste territories and a reconstruction of the local Dinosaur "Antonio" (original fossil exhibited at Museo Civico di Storia Naturale).
