Abstract

Despite the story of the Poreč Botanic Garden being constantly featured in local monographs, books and in the lore of the local people, the history and circumstances that led to the establishment and decline of the Poreč Botanical Garden were never completely clarified. The aim of this research was to find records of its existence, determine the place and time of its origin, identify the persons responsible and explain the circumstances threatening the loss of the last remains of the garden. The result have shown that Poreč had a botanical garden a century ago, and point out the urgent need for its preservation and restoration.
