BOTANICAL GARDEN
Botanical garden, among the most important in Europe, where Spanish and foreign plants are studied and classified
According to the precepts of The Illustration recommended by Carlos III, in 1781 the Royal Botanical Garden was inaugurated opposite the Botanical Museum (now the Prado Museum) and near the astronomical observatory (in the Retiro Park). It is one of the most important in Europe and depends on the High Council for Scientific Investigation. Spanish and foreign plants are studied and classified. We organize exhibitions, meetings. Greenhouses also have plant species from other climates (desert, tropical).

Malheureusement j y suis allée en janvier et le prix restait de 4€ malgré la saison et des travaux dans le jardin.
On peut y voir une magnifique collection de bonsaïs, ainsi qu’une grande diversité d’espèces de plantes notamment dans les serres du jardin.
