Argotti Botanical Gardens are one of the finest gardens in Malta. The tourists simply love this place for its calm and scenic beauty.
Travelers who seek a place where they can relax and enjoy their moments of leisure in Malta, Argotti Botanical Gardens are the place to be. It is a place free from the daily hustle bustle and hazards of city life. The gardens were a private property of Grand master Pinto who laid them out in the 18th century.
The garden served initially as a place to cool down and relax. But later on, the authorities decided that they should now work as an instrument to spread awareness on science. The Argotti Botanical Gardens was, therefore, developed into a botanical garden. Now you find a number of rare plants and herbs there in the Argotti Botanical Gardens. You can see trees and plants like Oak to Oleanders, pot plants to cactus and many other varieties. There is also a horticultural arena where different local and foreign plants and seeds are exhibited. An additional attraction to the Argotti Botanical Gardens is an old summerhouse which was built in 1741. But it is open only during the office hours. The tourists are always thrilled to see such an old summerhouse well preserved in side the garden.
