In the western part of it, the Botanical Garden (Orthotico) has a magnificent variety of plants, including palm trees and coconut, bananas and fine bamboe and bamboo.The garden, one of the most important in Europe, covers 11 hectares, and between its beds and homes it includes more than 12,000 species of plants worldwide.
