Botanical Garden
The Padova botanical garden, founded in 1545, is the world's oldest academic botanical garden still in its original location. It was devoted to the growth of medicinal plants, which produces natural remedies, and to instruct the students in their identification. Over the years, the original garden has been upgraded several times, most recently in 2014 when the "Giardino della Biodiversità" (Biodiversity Garden) was inaugurated.
The oldest and most famous plant in the garden is a palm tree planted in 1585, known as the Goethe palm because the poet referred to it in his essay "Geschichte meines botanisches Studiums".
