Palmerhaus Schonbrunn, a paradise of thousands of plant species
In 1882, the Palmenhaus Schönbrunn was built in the Schönbrunn Palace Park in Vienna, Austria. Measuring over 109 m long, 29 m wide and 25 m high, the Palmenhaus is a famous European destination with over 4,500 species of plants and is one of the largest botanical exhibitions in the world.
This massive structure consists of three main areas: the central part has a temperate Mediterranean climate, so it is mainly planted with palm trees. The right area is home to tropical plants, and the rest is for cold-loving plants.
During World War II, Palmerhaus Schonbrunn suffered heavy bombing and its facade was severely damaged. After extensive restoration efforts, Palmerhaus Schonbrunn reopened in 1953.
Today, Palmerhaus Schönbrunn is a botanical paradise and home to ancient tropical trees such as a 350-year-old olive tree from Spain and a Coco de Mer tree from the Seychelles. To cater to Austrian tourists, the Palmenhaus is open every day.
The Royal Palace of Riofrío, a heritage landmark of Italy
In 1752, the Riofrío Royal Palace was built by King Ferdinand VI, a member of the Spanish Royal Family, to keep his stepmother, Queen Elisabeth Farnese, away from the royal family.
Designed by architect Virgilio Rabaglio, the Riofrío Palace is very Italian in style. Unlike other palaces in Spain, the Riofrío Palace is much more refined and elegant in appearance than the elaborate Baroque structures being built in Spain at the time.
Today, the Riofrío Royal Palace is managed by Spain's National Heritage Foundation and is one of Europe's most popular destinations. Here you can take part in hunting exhibitions and see classical sculptures and many ancient weapons.
