Jardin Exotique de Monaco
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Jardin Exotique de Monaco (French for "exotic garden of Monaco") is a botanical garden situated in Monaco. It was opened in 1933, and has a wide variety of succulent plants, especially cactuses. Within the garden, there is a large underground cave in which there are many stalagmites and stalactites. Evidence of prehistoric human inhabitants has been found in the cave. There is a museum of Prehistoric Anthropology in the garden displaying many of those finds.
Among the notable figures prominent in the initiation of the Jardin Exotique de Monaco was local civil engineer Louis Notari, also a noted Monégasque language writer.
