Orto e Museo Botanico
The Orto e Museo Botanico of Pisa is one of the city’s quiet treasures, a historic garden founded in 1543 by botanist Luca Ghini and recognised as the first university botanical garden in the world. Originally located along the Arno, it moved to its current site in 1591, where it has grown into a serene two‑hectare landscape filled with plants from several continentsOrto e Museo Botanico. Visitors can wander among desert succulents, Mediterranean aromatic species, wetlands flora and centuries‑old trees, as well as endangered plants preserved for conservation. The adjoining Botanical Museum continues a tradition dating back to 1591, displaying portraits of early botanists, historic doors and the “Studiolo” once used for seed study and preservation. Together, the garden and museum offer a peaceful journey through centuries of scientific curiosity and botanical exploration in the heart of Pisa.
