University of Padua Botanical Garden The oldest university botanical garden in the world Founded in 1545 to facilitate the study and practical recognition of medicinal plants for university students, it has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997. The Botanical Garden of the University of Padua is the origin of all botanical gardens worldwide and has significantly contributed to the advancement of numerous modern scientific disciplines, particularly botany, medicine, chemistry, ecology, and pharmacy. Covering an area of 3.5 hectares, it is home to a Renaissance gem, the Garden of the Simple. It boasts 3,500 plant species from around the world and is today a center for research and conservation of plant species.

The Colle del Montirone The monumental entrance designed by Jappelli testifies to the importance of this small hill, which was once rich in natural thermal springs that bubbled forth at a temperature of 80°C. Today, the stone pools can still be seen here, a symbol of the millennia-old thermal tradition of the town of Abano. The Doric column, topped with a chalice entwined by a serpent, was also designed by Giuseppe Jappelli in 1825, on the occasion of Emperor Franz I of Austria's visit.

Parco Montirone, Abano / The Ancient Thermal Springs In the heart of Abano, at the end of the pedestrian zone, a tall colonnade leads us into this small park where steaming thermal water flows among the greenery of plants and trees. A tall colonnade leads us into this small park, situated on a green hill where the temple of the god Aponus once stood near Abano's ancient thermal spring. Today, the thermal water flows once again in the stone thermal pools. The cradle of Abano's thermal baths: More than two thousand years ago, in the time of the ancient Romans, a sacred temple dedicated to the god Aponus and a small shop selling pottery stood on this small hill. Many came here to be treated with the precious thermal water, which flowed freely at a temperature of approximately 80°C. ... Soon, villas and thermal palaces sprang up around the small hill, and the Abano thermal baths became famous among patricians and soldiers, as well as emperors, for their "magical" qualities: Tiberius himself wanted to stop at the Temple of Aponus to consult the oracle of Geryon. After receiving a positive result, he threw his golden dice into the fountain before departing for Illyria. Today, the ancient pools, which held steaming thermal water until the second half of the 20th century, have been restored to their former glory: The water flows again in the five stone pools—two large and three small—at a temperature of about 70°C. A high colonnade in the Corinthian order leads to the park with the Montirone springs. At the entrance stands the Doric column surmounted by a chalice coiled in the shape of a snake, designed in 1825 by the Venetian architect Giuseppe Jappelli to house the passage of Emperor Franz I of Austria.

The grounds are still charming. The greenery and water offer peace and relaxation. Right next door is the fantastic new biodiversity greenhouse. Included in the price. For me, that's the real attraction of the garden.

The world's oldest botanical garden is marketed to tourists like many other historical sites. But 1545 is long gone, and other botanical collections around the world, especially Kew Gardens in London, have long since surpassed it. What truly stands out in Padua and makes a visit very worthwhile is the biodiversity greenhouse, only 10 years old. Huge, fantastic. Included in the admission.

The dam allows you to cross the river AT YOUR OWN RISK. When the water level is below the edge, crossing is possible, whereas it would otherwise not be permitted.

This garden is the oldest garden (from 1545) in Europe that is connected to a university. Originally, medicinal plants were grown there. The oldest part still exists in its original form and was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1997. Now the garden has 3500 plants and a modern building. Closing day on Monday.
