Gradina Botanica (Botanical Garden), Iasi

The Botanical Garden of Iasi is a 100-hectare garden established by doctor and naturalist Anastasie Fatu in 1856, being the first and the largest botanical garden in Romania. Initially it comprised several locations, but in 1963 was moved to a single location in the Copou neighbourhood where it remains. Maintained by Alexandru Ioan Cuza University, the garden features a number of greenhouses, a rose garden (with over 800 species of rose from different parts of the world), and a recreational zone with a lake.
