    The botanical garden of Padua, founded in 1545, is the oldest botanical garden in the world still in its original location and one of the oldest ever. Located in an area of approximately 2.2 hectares, it is located in the historic center of Padua, near the Prato della Valle. It has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997.
    The Botanical Garden of Padua was created for the cultivation of medicinal plants which constituted the majority of "simple" medicines coming from nature. For this reason the original name of the garden was "Giardino dei Semplici" ("Horti Simplicium").
