Greenhouses to visit in Romania
The Verrière atlas lists 6 greenhouses in Romania, built between 1889 and 2019.
Most of Romania's greenhouses in the atlas belong to botanical gardens, and many date from the 1960s and 1970s. The Bucharest garden shows both ages: the Sera Veche, built in 1889–1891 on the model of the Liège greenhouses, where only the central pavilion, restored in 2011, is still open, and a 1970s display complex gathering the world's warm floras in eight compartments. Cluj grows a Canary Island date palm more than 145 years old, Iași a circular 17-metre Palmarium, and Jibou two glass domes sheltering palms, bananas and the giant water lily Victoria amazonica.
