The Venue

Founded in 1789, the Orto Botanico di Palermo is one of the most prestigious botanical gardens in Europe and a renowned symbol of scientific excellence in the Mediterranean region. Spanning more than 10 hectares, it is home to thousands of plant species from across the globe, including rare and exotic specimens. Its historic greenhouses, neoclassical architecture, and lush landscapes provide a truly unique and inspiring setting. Ideally located near the historic city center and just a short walk from the sea, it beautifully reflects the harmony between nature, culture, and the coastal charm of Palermo.
