The University of Padua Botanical Garden is like a time capsule, taking visitors back to the 16th century when it was first established. It's the oldest botanical garden in the world and has managed to preserve its original layout, complete with a circular central plot symbolizing the entire world, surrounded by a ring of water. Over the years, they've added some cool features like ornamental entrances, pumping installations, and even greenhouses. But what's really amazing is that it still serves its original purpose as a hub for scientific research. So if you're into plants or just want to step back in time, this place is definitely worth a visit!
