The Marimurtra Botanical Garden was created during the 1920s by the German businessman and philanthropist Carl Faust with the intention of being a center for research, study and conservation of botanical specimens of great interest to the scientific community. His legacy lives on today through the Carl Faust Foundation, which ensures that the Botanical Garden is kept in perfect condition for visitors and also takes Faust’s will to turn it into a space dedicated to plant conservation, study of Mediterranean biology and dissemination of scientific and environmental values.
All this takes shape in the Marimurtra Botanical Museum which offers, through the visit to the most outstanding botanical specimens of the Botanical Garden, the opportunity to deepen the interest in the plant kingdom, its importance for the planet, the science around of plants, and the wonder and fascination of the natural environment that surrounds us.
