Wilson Park & the Palm House

The park was created in 1834. From 1903 to 1925 it was a botanical garden. The Palm House was built in 1929 and it is one of the biggest of its kind in Europe. In the years 1983-92 it was completely rebuilt and expanded. Today there are some 17,000 plants of 700 subtropical and equatorial species growing inside it. In front of the Palm House there is a monument of Perseus rescuing Andromeda.
