Orto Botanico di Napoli
The Orto Botanico di Napoli is a historic botanical garden founded in 1807 by decree of Joseph Bonaparte, fulfilling an earlier Bourbon plan to create a centre dedicated to public instruction and the cultivation of plants useful to health, agriculture, and industry. Opened in 1810, it soon became a major scientific institution under the direction of botanist Michele Tenore, who expanded its collections to nearly 9,000 species. Spread across 12 hectares along Via Foria, the garden today hosts thousands of plants from around the world, including monumental trees, medicinal species, tropical greenhouses, and themed areas that trace centuries of botanical research. Its peaceful avenues and historic greenhouses offer a rare refuge in the heart of Naples, blending scientific heritage with living biodiversity in one of Italy’s most important botanical landscapes.
Naples ItalyOrto Botanico di Napoli is located at Via Foria 223 in the historic center of Naples, adjacent to the massive 18th-century Palazzo Fuga (Albergo dei Poveri) and near Piazza Carlo III, easily reached from Cavour metro station on Line 2. This expansive 15-hectare botanical garden, established in 1810 by the University of Naples Federico II, features neoclassical hothouses, acclimatization sections, and rare plant collections amid serene pathways and ponds. Steps away, the National Archaeological Museum houses Pompeii treasures, while the Duomo cathedral and bustling Spaccanapoli street unfold through the nearby decumani in this vibrant cultural quarter. Palazzo Fuga's grand facade and Via Foria markets add architectural drama, with the historic center's cafes and artisan shops inviting exploration on foot.
