Real Jardín Botánico de Madrid

The Real Jardín Botánico de Madrid is an 8-hectare botanical garden in Madrid, Spain. The garden was founded in 1755 by King Ferdinand VI and features a collection of over 90,000 plants and flowers, and 1,500 trees. It is divided into seven major outdoor sections and five greenhouses, allowing for the cultivation of species not suited to Madrid's Continental Mediterranean climate. The garden includes a Japanese garden, a taxonomic collection of plants, and a diverse collection of trees and shrubs. Visitors can also see various statues, including those of Simon Clemente, Mariano Lagasea, and Carlos III. The garden has a rich history, having been moved to its current location in 1774 and having undergone several restorations and refurbishments over the years
