This lush oasis in the heart of the city offers a peaceful retreat with its beautiful landscaping, fragrant flowers, and shady trees. The park is named after the famous Croatian botanist Roberto de Visiani, and it showcases a variety of Mediterranean plants. Here, in the shade of the trees, I will tell you about the history of the city.
