Civico Orto Botanico di Trieste

The Civico Orto Botanico di Trieste (90 hectares, cultivated area 10,000 m2) is a municipal botanical garden located at via Marchesetti 2, Trieste, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy.

The garden was established in 1842 when the city first experimented with plantations of the Austrian black pine.

By 1861 a botanical garden began to take shape with species collected from the Julian Alps in Istria and Dalmatia.

In 1873 it opened to the public, in 1877 published its first catalog of 254 plants (Delectus seminum quae Hortus Botanicus tergestinus pro mutual communicatione offert), and in 1903 became a public institution attached to the Museum of Natural History.
