FEATURES

A harmony between nature and history

Within the botanical garden, harmony is at the heart of everything. Like a symphony, the garden brings together forms that complement one another, colours that enhance each other, and delicate, ever-changing scents that accompany visitors throughout their journey.

01. A haven in the countryside

In the heart of Apulia, across three hectares of land among thousand-year-old olive trees, lies the Lama degli Ulivi garden. An oasis where nature and history come together in a unique experience.

02. A single natural harmony

Native plants of the Mediterranean scrub mingle with exotic species from every corner of the world, creating a unique and fascinating ecosystem.

03. Traces of the past

Among dry-stone walls, caves and paths carved into the rock stand the two cave churches of Iacovella and Santa Cecilia. These ancient works offer a moving journey back in time.
