A note of history
The Exotic Garden of Monaco is a true gem of the Principality, a verdant oasis suspended between sky and sea, offering a dazzling spectacle of nature in all its splendor. Situated on a hillside, this unique botanical garden is a genuine ode to biodiversity, a place where rare and fascinating plant species from all corners of the world coexist.
The Exotic Garden of Monaco was created under the initiative of Prince Albert I, a great enthusiast of nature and sciences. He began the collection of exotic plants, particularly cacti and succulents, during his travels around the world. Inaugurated in 1933 by Prince Louis II, the Exotic Garden of Monaco was designed as a sanctuary for exotic plants, especially cacti and succulents, which are cherished and preserved here in an environment that faithfully replicates their natural habitat.
Strolling through the garden’s pathways, one is immediately struck by the diversity and beauty of shapes and colors. Giant, sculptural cacti reach towards the sky, while thick, fleshy agave leaves bask in the sunlight. All of this is enhanced by an unbeatable panoramic view of the Mediterranean Sea and the Principality of Monaco.
However, the Exotic Garden of Monaco is not just a place for contemplation. It is also a center for research and conservation where scientific work is conducted to preserve these plant species, threatened by climate change and the destruction of their natural habitats.
Lastly, the Exotic Garden of Monaco is also a place of historical significance. It houses the Observatory Cave, a classified prehistoric site where remains of Neanderthal men and extinct animals have been discovered.
The Exotic Garden of Monaco is a world apart, where nature reigns supreme, and where each plant, each rock, each view of the sea tells a story. It is a magical place that amazes and inspires, bearing witness to the Principality’s commitment to preserving our precious biodiversity.
