Description
Essentials about the Orto Botanico di Brera in brief
The Orto Botanico di Brera (Brera Botanical Garden) is a beautiful green oasis in the middle of downtown Milan. Located directly behind the famous Brera Academy, it is a wonderful place to relax and stroll among flowerbeds and fountains. The botanical garden consists, among other things, of a vegetable garden, various beds with herbs and medicinal plants, and two ginkgo trees, which are among the oldest in Europe.
The history of the Orto Botanico di Brera
The Orto Botanico di Brera was created in 1774 at the behest of the Austrian Empress Maria Theresa. Before that, on this site there was a Jesuit garden where students of medicine and pharmacy planted their medicinal herbs. After a long period of decay, the botanical garden was restored in 1998.
