'Аптекарский огород'
[ap-te-kar-skiy a-ga-rot]
🔻It is the oldest botanical garden in Russia, founded by Peter I in 1706.
🔻It has the status of a cultural heritage site of regional significance - a monument of history and culture of Moscow, a monument of landscape gardening art of the 18th century.
🔻The garden was founded by Peter the Great in 1706 on the then northern outskirts of Moscow: the state garden for growing medicinal plants, located at the Gostiny Dvor pharmacy, was moved to this place from under the walls of the Kremlin - hence its name.
📍 Geoposition: Moscow, Russia
